DC: Pray-In and Procession for Peace and An End to the US-Israeli War in Iran

Pray-In and Procession For Peace and An End to the US-Israeli War in Iran

As People of Faith who believe that God commands us not to kill and wage war, and Christians who are committed to following the Jesus’ way of active nonviolence, we call for:

  • Permanent Ceasefire in Iran, Lebanon and Gaza
  • No US weapons sales to Israel
  • Rejection of the proposed $1.5 trillion military budget for FY 2027
  • Challenging the religious justification for a Holy War in Iran, as heretical and an affront to God
  • Support conscientious objection for US soldiers for this immoral war

 

Date: April 17, 2026
Time: 12-1 ET
Location:
We will start at East Capitol and First Streets, NE (entrance to Capitol East entrance), process to the Senate office buildings, pausing for prayer at each site, and conclude outside the Methodist Building
