\u00bfQui\u00e9nes somos?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somos un grupo de personas comunes y corrientes, ciudadanos preocupados que vivimos en Santa Fe, Nuevo M\u00e9xico, y sus alrededores. Abarcamos diferentes generaciones, creencias, situaciones econ\u00f3micas y opiniones pol\u00edticas. No representamos a ninguna organizaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 entendemos por dar testimonio?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Images and stories from and about Gaza reach us daily. In that sense, we are already witnessing the genocide that is taking place there. Since we have knowledge of the situation, we seek to come together to open ourselves to the suffering in Gaza and subsequently be changed by witnessing in community. Giving names to the thousands of people who have been killed in the last two years of war also shines light onto the dire living conditions in Gaza and the total destruction of the infrastructure that supports daily life. And what all this means for those still alive in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfEres pro palestino, antisemita?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estamos a favor de la vida. No representamos ninguna opini\u00f3n pol\u00edtica, religiosa o activista en particular. Nos conmueven los horrores que se est\u00e1n viviendo en Gaza y queremos traducir ese sentimiento en un gesto significativo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Criticism of the Israeli government and their actions in Gaza does not equate to antisemitism. Actually, we have several Jewish members on the organizing committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 nombres est\u00e1 leyendo?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We read the names of all documented Palestinian civilians who were murdered beginning on October 1st, 2023 and ongoing until the end of August 2025, knowing all too well that, without a ceasefire, people would continue to be murdered during our event. We included the names of all of the people of various nationalities who were killed on October 7th, as we are well aware of the loss and trauma inflicted on that day. As US Citizens and Taxpayers we acknowledge that we are responsible for all of these lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did we read the Israeli civilian names?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the 68,225 documented Palestinian victims, we will also read the names of the more than 800 civilian (Israeli and other nationalities) victims of October 7, 2023. While we choose to center the genocide being waged through targeted bombing of civilians, expulsion and forced starvation in Gaza, we also seek to recognize and respect the loss and grief of Israelis and other civilians.\u00a0 We read all of these names in order to acknowledge the human cost of violence, in silence, with dignity.\u00a0 We believe that naming all the victims does justice to the humanity we strive for, and brings us closer to peace and justice.\u00a0\u00a0The reading of the Israeli names took about 1.5 hours, while the reading of Palestinian names took nearly 120 hours.\u00a0 The violence and suffering inflicted on the people of Gaza is vividly manifested in this enormous disparity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event drew in a large number of people from all around Santa Fe, people who have up till now been watching the horrors in Gaza unfold, but have not found a way to express their feelings about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did we read on these days?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

La puesta del sol del 1 de octubre de 2025 marca el comienzo del d\u00eda m\u00e1s sagrado del a\u00f1o para el pueblo jud\u00edo. Denominado Yom Kippur, este d\u00eda es un momento de profunda reflexi\u00f3n, duelo, perd\u00f3n y expiaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this day of communal introspection, we acknowledged collective tragedy and as we read the names of all those documented civilians that were murdered, we remember that each life lost is a lost universe<\/em><\/strong>. At the heart of Yom Kippur lies a process of acknowledging mistakes and wounds that can only begin to be repaired by mending the threads between us – one human being to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only then can we move forward together to promote peace, justice, and the alleviation of suffering.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\u00bfD\u00f3nde se encuentran los nombres de las personas que han sido asesinadas?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaza civilians can be found via the Airwars database<\/em><\/strong> – https:\/\/airwars.org\/moh-list\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A list of names from October 7, 2023 can be obtained by request via witness4gaza@proton.me<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo sabes pronunciar correctamente los nombres?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We asked Arab speaking friends to help us with pronunciation. Readers received a recorded audio with some basic pronunciation guidelines. Regardless of our best intentions, we are certain that we made plenty of mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you expect unrest during this event?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We counted on peace, respect, grace, and dignity throughout, as this event brought a respectful naming of each person killed, without any flags present, chanting of slogans, or other activism. We saw this as a testimony to the suffering and violence that continues in Gaza to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfD\u00f3nde tendr\u00e1 lugar este evento?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seguimos trabajando con la ciudad y otras organizaciones para encontrar un lugar adecuado, seguro y acogedor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfSanta Fe es el \u00fanico lugar donde se celebra este evento?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nos inspiramos en eventos similares en el Pa\u00edses Bajos<\/a> <\/em>that took place over the summer. It would be good, and much more potent, to be connected with people in other communities who are doing similar events. Hence the following request: please help us spread the word to friends, family, acquaintances, and organizations in other parts of the US (and globe). A guiding document, which we received from organizers in the Pa\u00edses Bajos<\/em><\/a>, is available to aid in organizing. We will be happy to share via witness4gaza@proton.me<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will send you all the information you need to create your own event. People signed up for a two-hour slot alongside three or four other people for daylight hours and alongside five or six other people for night time hours (between 10 pm and 8 am). We also had coordinators who took on a six-hour window to ensure that transitions went smoothly and be a point person for unexpected situations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
