We will gather at 10am at "The Pillars" on Lake Merrit and walk to the Islamic Cultural Center (1433 Madison Street, Oakland) for a lively cultural program of performances, speakers, artisans, and food.

This is an event organized by the Islamic Cultural Center of Northern California, American Muslims Intent on Learning and Activism (AMILA), and United for Peace organizations, for everyone to share in their hopes for peace and remembering the ones lost during Nine-Eleven.

The tragedy of 9/11 changed many lives and continues to have profound effects on the daily lives of many in America and across the world. This march is a wonderful way of making a strong statement to remember the victims of 9/11, and for justice and peace in America and across the globe as well as bringing the community together.

A broad coalition of East Bay peace groups have come together to sponsor a vigil in Oakland's Lakeside Park, in memory of the victims of September 11, 2001, and for all victims of the ongoing cycle of violence. We will meet at "The Pillars" at Lake Merritt in Oakland at 7:00pm, Tuesday September 10, to make Peace Lanterns with remembrances of those lost and our hopes for a peaceful future, and to join in a walk around the lake. Participants are encouraged to wear white, and to bring names, photos, or images to incorporate in the memorial.
