Thanks, Tamara. Do you have a contact for Monday's rally organizers? I am tied up until 3 pm and it takes almost half an hour to get there by transit, so I'd like to find out how long they expect it to last.
Thanks and best,
Chris

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
