[KWPeace-groups] Change of plans: Gaza-University action this Monday (not Tues), grief walk on Sat. & online meeting about peace & war

[Tamara Lorincz]

Hello KW peace,

A change of plans: There will NOT be an action this week on University Avenue on Tuesday. Instead, please join this event organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement:

"Rally for Liberation: UW Divest From Genocide. University of Waterloo Arts Quad. Monday, May 6 at 2:30 pm".

There is a grief walk for Gaza every Saturday at 11am at the Kitchener Farmers Market.

You might be interested in the online meeting on Monday evening.

Thanks,
Tamara
