Silent Vigil for Gaza
Tuesday, November 10, 2026 · Noon-1pm
This is our second silent vigil for healthcare workers in Gaza. Our aim is to raise the visibility of the death toll and suffering of Palestinians and insist that, at a medical/public health university campus, we acknowledge the ongoing humanitarian crisis and “medicide” in Gaza.
The portraits we hold today honor our fellow healthcare workers in Gaza who have been killed. We gather in silence to remember their lives and their work caring for others.
We mourn those killed by Israel, stand in solidarity with those detained or tortured, and call for justice for healthcare workers in Palestine. If you are passing through Haven Plaza, we invite you to stand with us, even for a moment.
Join the CU Stands Up Community. If you would like to stay informed about future CUMC events for Palestine, please leave your contact information here.
