Our pledge…
We will faithfully gather outside the Philadelphia office of Senator Fetterman every Friday afternoon (12:15 pm – 1:15 pm) until the senator publicly supports our demand for an immediate, permanent ceasefire in Gaza -- or the ceasefire is achieved with Sen. Fetterman standing
on the wrong side of history.
Our weekly peace vigil is rooted in radical nonviolence, and we expect vigil participants to refrain from violent actions, words,
or messages on signs and banners.
You can help by attending the upcoming vigil,
spreading the word to your contacts, and following us on social media
(see icon links below).
The "Fridays @ Fetterman's" weekly peace vigil has been endorsed by the American Friends Service Committee, the
Brandywine Peace Community, Community Peacemaker Teams, Freedom Road, Granny Peace Brigade Philadelphia, IfNotNow Philly, Mennonite Action, Prayers for Peace Alliance, The Simple Way, and the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, Greater Philadelphia Branch

The Narrative Gap, as coined by Lisa Sharon Harper, is the distance between the stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves, including how we got here and what it will take to make things right. In our world today, competing narratives vie for our loyalty, dividing society and the church, therefore making justice impossible. Our mission is help communities shrink the narrative gap, by identifying core issues and building community capacity so they might work toward common solutions for a just world. Here on the Freedom Road Substack, we can converse together on ways to shrink that narrative gap and help ensure everyones’ stories are told.
