Starting Thursday, January 8, at Zeughausplatz (near Paradeplatz), Zürich.
Contact organizers: WhatsApp, Email
Please join us in silent vigil the first and third Thursday of the month from 5-5:30PM at Zeughausplatz (at Paradeplatz)!
Bring signs and your spirit of real American values, and show your support for equality and freedom and justice for all—and your opposition to illegal wars and invasions.
No illegal invasion of Venezuela! No illegal invasion of Greenland! And no secret police or military occupation of American cities!
Americans and allies both welcome.
About the Beacon
The Beacon was launched in New York City in January 2025, initially as an interfaith group open to all “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.” (Quoting the initiator of The Beacon, Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum.)
There are now over 40 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!)
