Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPINK will be among the featured speakers on 12.6.24.

Register HERE.

For fifty years, Medea Benjamin has followed in the footsteps of great women in U.S. history such as  Alice Paul, Rosa Parks, Gloria Steinem, and other transformational change agents who displayed extraordinary courage and creativity in organizing against oppression and violent social structures.

Described as “one of America’s most committed — and most effective — fighters for human rights” by New York Newsday, and “one of the high profile leaders of the peace movement” by the Los Angeles Times, Medea was recognized as one of the exemplary women from 140 countries nominated to receive the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the millions of women who do the essential work of peace worldwide.

Join Medea in Philadelphia on December 6, 2024!

Our pledge…

We will faithfully gather outside the Philadelphia office of Senator Fetterman every Friday afternoon (12:15 pm – 1:15 pm) until the senator publicly supports our demand for an immediate, permanent ceasefire in Gaza — or the ceasefire is achieved with Sen. Fetterman standing
on the wrong side of history.

Our weekly peace vigil is rooted in radical nonviolence, and we expect vigil participants to refrain from violent actions, words,
or messages on signs and banners.

You can help by attending the upcoming vigil,
spreading the word to your contacts, and following us on social media
(see icon links below).

The “Fridays @ Fetterman’s” weekly peace vigil has been endorsed by the American Friends Service Committee, the

Brandywine Peace Community, Community Peacemaker Teams, Freedom Road, Granny Peace Brigade Philadelphia, IfNotNow Philly, Mennonite Action, Prayers for Peace Alliance, The Simple Way, and the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, Greater Philadelphia Branch
