SOMA (for Palestine has been working in earnest to support an cease fire and an end to the genocide in Palestine since October 2023. (SOMA is an abbreviation for South Orange – Maplewood).) One way the committee is rallying community support is a vigil each and every week, every Sunday at 3pm until 4:30pm in Ricalton Sq in Maplewood NJ.
The vigil demands an immediate cease fire, an end to US support for the genocide and freedom for the nation and people of Palestine.
More information can be attained from the SOMA for Palestine Facebook page or on Instagram.
The next events are scheduled for February 4, 11, 18 and 25.
