Women in Black have had a presence at many of the Wednesday Vigils for Gaza that has taken place every week in Aberystwyth since Autumn 2023. It was first organised by Heddwch yr Waith, has since be joined by Palestinian Solidarity Aberystwyth, Women in Black and others. Many of the women there are members of all the groups including Cor Gobaith, the Choir of Hope.
Next events: Sunday 27th July; we will organise a vigil and choose a time that might allow women to attend more than one event. This follows the Red Line Demo on Saturday 26th July, where we are privileged that PSM’s (Palestine Solidarity Movement’s) Red Line, that once circled the White House, will be unfurled in Aberystwyth. 200 – 500 meters of fabric, the Red Line is a symbol of opposition to all the red lines that Israel has crossed, and our government’s complicity in war crimes and genocide.
WIB Aberystwyth & Borth have continued to have a presence at the annual Remembrance Service in Aberystwyth and have been laying a white poppy wreath from WIB for almost a decade now, along with both red and pruple wreaths.
