Day of Mourning and Solidarity with the People of Negros
August 20, 2019
Dear Friends,
Greetings of peace and justice!
In response to the alarming surge of killings in Negros Island, which has already claimed the lives of 87 unarmed civilians in the last two years, we would like to invite you to a solidarity action for peace and justice on August 20, from 3:30-6pm at the Liwasang Bonifacio in Manila.
We are expecting a range of participants from the religious sector, youth and students, farmers groups, human rights advocates and other concerned citizens. The program will include speeches, cultural performances and other expressions of solidarity for the people of Negros, especially the victims’ families and communities.
Prior to the solidarity action, you may also attend a Holy Mass for the intention of the victims of human rights violations in Negros at the Sta. Cruz Church in Manila from 2-3pm. This will be followed by a short march to Liwasang Bonifacio.
For inquiries and to confirm your attendance, please contact Ms. Gel Marcelino at 09475891578
Thank you very much.
