In response to a few people’s questions about whether or not there will be a vigil on September 11th:
?
The Campus Y will have a candle light vigil with both secular and religious speakers at 7:00 on the steps of South Building, this upcoming Thursday.

In order to provide a different space to grieve and remember the Campaign to End the Cycle of Violence will be playing a video called “It’s Raining on Santiago” in Hamilton Hall 100 at 7 pm on September 11th.? September 11th is also the anniversary of the day the democratically elected leader Salvador Allende was overthrown in Chile in 1973.

To recap:
? Rallies sponsored by Stalinist front groups: Good
? Vigils to mourn Americans killed by terrorists: Geez, guys, can’t we find some alternative?
