Mennonite Action

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.

Doug Luginbill, conference minister of the Central District Conference, participated in Mennonite Action’s All God’s Children March for a Ceasefire in July. He reflects on journey. mennoniteusa.org/menno-snapshot… @mennoniteaction

“As a Mennonite, it’s my duty and my responsibility to speak up against injustice wherever I see it and right now there’s an ongoing genocide in Palestine.” #Mennonites4Ceasefire niagaranow.com/news.phtml/not…

A great article for those that want to learn more about what motivates Mennonites and other Anabaptist Christians to act for a ceasefire in Gaza. We must continue advocating for peace! religionnews.com/2024/07/29/men… #CeasefireNOW @MennoniteAction

Our march to Washington, DC to call for a ceasefire was an intergenerational act of solidarity with the people of Gaza. “I just don’t want them to think that nobody cares,” Sammy Miller Gonzalez, age 13, told a reporter. #Mennonites4Ceasefire sojo.net/articles/menno…

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.

"This July march followed months of other actions and organizing by Mennonite Action, a group formed in November to protest for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war and an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestine." @MennoniteAction @mccpeace #Ceasefire religionnews.com/2024/07/29/men…

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.”

“There is more love somewhere. There is more hope somewhere. There is more peace somewhere.”

BREAKING: Mennonites being arrested for singing for a ceasefire. 141-mile Mennonite March for Gaza Culminates in Arrests at US Capitol Nonviolent action and arrests underway inside Hart Senate Building — as counter to “Christians United For Israel” lobby days

Many of the Mennonites who marched over 135 miles from Harrisonburg, Virginia, to the White House had someone in mind as they walked, nursing blisters and removing ticks as they crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah Valley in 11 days. anabaptistworld.org/mennonites-mar…

Mennonites getting arrested (again!) to protest violence in Gaza and call for a ceasefire!

Never again means never again for anyone.

“John Hagee literally said that Hitler was a hunter sent by God to chase Jews to Israel… Thanks to that ‘hunter’ there used to be hundreds of people with my family’s last name and now there are just a handful… And that is happening to Palestinians today.” -Eva Borgwardt
