On Dec. 20, we’ll honor the journalists who have risked and lost their lives in Gaza with a vigil at NoMüNoMü (709 N. Howard St.). This event will especially center the hard work, bravery, and dedication of Palestinian journalists. We recognize that they are sacrificing everything to speak truth to power.
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, as of December 15 over 60 journalists and media workers were confirmed dead: 57 Palestinian, four Israeli, and three Lebanese.
Additionally, 13 journalists were reported injured, three journalists were reported missing, and 19 journalists were reported arrested. There have also been multiple assaults, threats, cyberattacks, censorship, and killings of family members.
This event will be live-streamed. We ask those attending in person to please wear a mask. To view this event over Zoom, click here.
