Mennonites from across the United States and Canada arrived at the White House today after marching 135 miles over 11 days from Harrisonburg, VA. Our demands: Ceasefire now! Stop arming Israel’s genocide against the people of Gaza. Our love extends to ALL of God’s children.

Beautiful singing by @MennoniteAction calling for a Ceasefire in Gaza brought people out of offices throughout the Hart Senate building Wednesday. This is the view from the 7th floor. #InterfaithAction4Palestine

We’re grateful for the courageous peace witness of 46 Mennonites & allies who were arrested today at the Hart Senate building, calling for a ceasefire & end to the genocide in Gaza. Everyone from the group has now been safely released from police custody.

Mennonites arrested in Senate Building for singing hymns, calling for a ceasefire—keep singing as they’re loaded into paddy wagons: “Everyone beneath their vine & fig tree shall live in peace and unafraid. And into plowshares turn their swords, nations shall learn war no more.”
