Virginia Artists & Arts Organizations for Palestine.
We believe in the power and necessity of the artist’s voice. We, the undersigned Virginia artists and arts & cultural organizations, join the global call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the indiscriminate killing of Palestinian civilians.
We grieve for the Israeli lives lost, damaged and violently harmed by Hamas on October 7th. We also grieve for the 25,000+ Palestinians who have been killed by Israel's (and the United States’) indiscriminate bombing, starvation and withholding of medical care to civilians. Entire communities have been demolished; blood lines erased.
What is happening in Palestine is wrong, and it must end.
In the words of the late great James Baldwin, “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it’s faced.” Let’s face this together!
