Take Action

Fast for Peace and Solidarity

In recognition of the Holy Month of Ramadan. In opposition to the Military Action in Afghanistan and the persecutions against people of the Muslim faith. Please fast from dawn until dusk every Friday for the next 5 weeks (11/16, 11/23, 11/30, 12/7, 12/14).

• Since 9/11/01 over 1,000 hate crimes have occurred against Muslim-Americans alone.
• Seven million Afghanis face starvation this winter as access to food is being severely cut off due to the bombing of the country's infrastructure.
• The Anti-Terrorism Act is effectively crippling the basic civil liberties of everyone, whether terrorist or not—1,200 Muslim and Arab people are now being detained without representation and with little or no evidence.
• Our tax dollars are being wasted in an indefinite campaign of ineffective military action!

During the Holy Month of Ramadan, the community is invited to come together and hold a vision of peace and solidarity with our Muslim sisters and brothers all over the world who are being unfairly persecuted in the wake of the September 11th attacks. Read more about the Holy Month of Ramadan.
