Last month, Baltimore Beat Editor-in-Chief Lisa Snowden organized a vigil to honor the journalists who have risked and lost their lives in Gaza. About 100 people gathered at NoMüNoMü, an intersectional artist collective and curatorial platform located on North Howard Street.
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, at least 77 journalists and media workers have been killed since the conflict in Gaza began on October 7.
“We know why Israel is doing this, why they are relentlessly murdering journalists, why they have tried so flagrantly and deliberately to cut off Gaza’s electricity and communications and connection to the world beyond their enclosed death chamber,” The Real News Network’s Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez said during the vigil. “They don’t want us to see the horror, the inhumanity, the atrocity of Israel’s settler-colonial dream realized, with the full backing of the US.” (Lisa Snowden)
