*HONOURING OUR MARTYRS: OTTAWA NEW YEAR EVE'S VIGIL*

OTTAWA - Join us on Tuesday December 31st at 11 PM, as we gather at the
Human Rights Monument for a vigil. We will honour the lives lost and stand
in unwavering solidarity with our Palestinian brothers and sisters who
continue to endure unimaginable violence and devastation at the hands of
the zionist entity. There can be no celebration as Gaza’s genocide
continues—with the full backing of the US, Europe, and Canada, whose
financial and military support fuels this violence. We refuse to turn a
blind eye.

This vigil is a reminder that the struggle for justice doesn't end with a
calendar year—it’s ongoing, and it’s our responsibility to continue to
demand an end to the genocide, a two-way arms embargo and a free Palestine.
We will not be distracted by corporate holidays that tell us there is a
break between the past and the future. We will only have a new beginning
the day we achieve our liberation from zionism and imperialism.

*Starting January 6th, we are declaring a Mental Health Sick Leave:*

We are broken. 💔 After witnessing 15 months of relentless violence and
destruction in Gaza, we can no longer carry on as if everything is normal.
The international system has failed, and we are sick—sick from genocide,
sick from complicity, and sick from silence.

On January 6th, we are taking a Mental Health Sick Leave. We will heal when
we witness justice and accountability. We are unwilling accomplices in
genocide.

To all healthcare workers, professionals, and allies—stand with us. Pause.
Grieve. Demand change.

🛑 Not Another Child. Not Another Hospital.
Join us. Take the leave. Demand action.
