WEST BRATTLEBORO-Four women, diverse in their origin and tradition, with years of experience in peace-pursuing, arts, and community activism, have embarked on a journey together in the midst of darkness and chaos.
This quartet, Women of Vision, is coming to All Souls Church, Unitarian Universalist at the West Village Meeting House on Saturday, Sept. 21, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. This event is co-hosted by the Brattleboro Area Jewish Community and All Souls Church, who have a long-standing partnership and support for each other's communities.
"Two Jewish women and two Arab women from the Holy Land come together to weave a new narrative of unity and peace," organizers wrote in a news release.
The group is dedicated to strengthening leadership that supports Arab and Jewish women in and outside of Israel to work together.
"We refuse to be enemies," they said in a news release. "We hold together a vision of unity and of loving shared society. Women of Vision is looking for people to become part of this consciousness and expand the space for people moving together 'in the field beyond right and wrong.'"
Donations of checks or cash will be accepted to support the Women of Vision trip to the United States. A GoFundMe page has been set up for donations at https://bit.ly/782-womenofvision.
