Over 200 people arrived at Waterloo City Hall on Tuesday December 19 to sing for peace. The Mennonite Day of Action — Hymn Sing for a Ceasefire was put on by the group Mennonite Action, a movement of Mennonites who believe they have a responsibility to speak out for peace and justice.
Sam Ramer of Mennonite Action talked about the purpose of the hymn sing, why they are focusing on Palestine, and the need for a ceasefire.
Mennonite Action’s event was not only held in Waterloo. On December 19, over two thousand people sang hymns in 42 cities and towns across North America as part of a campaign to encourage government representatives to push for a ceasefire.
