This Tuesday, on the fourth anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq War, come to a peaceful candlelight vigil to commemorate the lives lost in the war.

Starting Tuesday at 3:00 pm and in the 6 hours leading up to the vigil, members of the Dems and the co-sponsoring organizations (listed here) will read the names of Americans and Iraqis who have died in the war. Names will be read from the steps of Memorial Church in Harvard Yard.

At 9:00 pm, we will gather on the steps for a quiet candlelight vigil as a memorial service to honor and mourn those who have been lost.

Co-Sponsoring Organizations:

Harvard Progressive Jewish Alliance
Harvard Humanist Chaplaincy
Harvard Initiative for Peace and Justice
Radcliffe Union of Students
Harvard South Asian Association
Activate South Asia
South Asian Women's Collective
South Asian Men's Collective
Harvard Secular Society
Harvard Society of Arab Students
Students Taking on Poverty


The vigil, while meant to bring awareness to the tragic consequences of the war, does not take a political stance other than the assumption that the current state and the current course of action cannot go on. The purpose of the vigil is to remember those who have been lost and recognize that things must change, no matter what our personal policy preferences may be. We hope that the Harvard community will join in this act of recognition.

The Harvard College Democrats, while made up of a membership with diverse views on the best course of action to take to remedy the war, nonetheless universally oppose the continued killing of soldiers and civilians and the draining of the national treasury into a war fought on unjustifiable grounds, and demand that our political leaders not rest until a viable solution is proposed.
