- To highlight the EnoughLetter campaign, we are asking people to make an effort to join us for a special walk from the Pepper Canister Church at 8:30am on Thursday May 8th. Palestinian flags, healthcare worker scrubs, keffiyehs, pillow babies and any other non-violent symbol of solidarity are welcome. 30 minutes of your day – and if you are late for work or for school as a result, please tell your employer, your colleagues, your teachers why – you were acting on your beliefs, not just talking.
