Everyone is invited to this silent demonstration and vigil in the tradition of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo and other Mothers’/People’s movements to recognize students and academic colleagues detained by or forced to flee from ICE for constitutionally protected free speech, including from Columbia: Mahmoud Khalil, Yunseo Chung, and Ranjani Srinivasan, and others. This Friday vigil is in addition to our ongoing Monday vigils.

Please wear black for this one-hour silent vigil if you intend to stand with us.

ABOUT OUR WEEKLY VIGILS:

Columbia faculty and staff are gathering every week across campuses for silent vigils to call for an end to the persecution of our students and scholars.

Concurrent vigils held on campuses across the country will all continue weekly — Mondays, 12pm ET. Join us.
