THE BEACON IS COMING TO ZÜRICH
Starting Thursday, June 19th, at 7 PM CET, Paradeplatz
Please join us in silent vigil every Thursday 7 – 7:30 PM at Paradeplatz (on the corner with Talacker)! This will be our ongoing opportunity to build and experience a community of deeply concerned US Americans standing together in unified protest. Allies are also welcome.
The Beacon was launched in New York City in January 2025, for all those
who feel called to stand with those facing injustice. The Beacon mobilizes its diverse community members to take action. Where there is cruelty, we create visible acts of solidarity and compassion. Where there is fear, we build community and mutual understanding . . . Let’s prevent despair from becoming our dominant emotion and instead find inspiration in small powerful acts of coming together.
(initiator of The Beacon, Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum)
There are now 17 affiliated groups predominantly in New York City but also popping up in other parts of the USA. They are people of all ages and backgrounds who stand quietly together with their signs for a half hour every week, between the local time of 7-7:30 PM. The signs convey messages of concern, anger, compassion and hope.
Participation in The Beacon brings with it a commitment to nonviolent action and expression.
The Beacon Zürich is the first group of its kind outside of the USA, intended to give expats who live here or are passing through the opportunity to experience community and share their feelings and concerns with each other and the world around them. Together we will feel the power of unity and conviction. Join us! (Bring your own signs!)
