MARCH 16th, DAY OF REMEMBRANCE


One month from today we will mark the fourth anniversary of Rachel Corrie’s
death. Please join Rachel’s Words in making March 16th a day of remembrance.


Below we have descriptions of four different Rachel’s Words events. They
range from a small dinner party to a large production with professional
actors and musicians. There are many creative possibilities in combining
Rachel’s emails with current events, candle-light vigils, street theater,
theatrical readings, film screenings, direct action, report-backs,
teach-ins, or coffee and conversation.


Rachel’s Words can provide resources to make organizing easier. We have
Rachel’s emails online and translated into several languages. Our Myths and
Facts Sheet was reviewed by Craig and Cindy Corrie and addresses the
misinformation often repeated in the media. It’s available online as text or
as a pre-formatted pdf and is intended to be used as a handout or a media
tool.


We have video footage from our event at Riverside Church, DVDs of the
documentary The Killing Zone, Rachel Corrie solidarity bracelets — and we’re
building a community of people to share ideas and experience. Please contact
us if we can help you organize an event, large or small. Please let us know
how if you make plans to mark the day.

LIVING ROOM READING IN BROOKLYN, NY
This description of a living room reading beautifully exemplifies the power
of an intimate gathering and its surprising effectiveness. Don't
underestimate the potential of a small gathering of friends!


RACHEL’S WORDS IN EAST HAMPTON, LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK
A great deal of time and effort went into planning this successful event
which followed the same basic structure as Rachel's Words at Riverside
Church. The effort still bears fruit as the videotaped event travels to
local schools and churches.


THEATRICAL READING AT FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH IN OLD LYME, CT
Talented performers in Old Lyme created an original new production complete
with music and a speaking chorus, combining Rachel's emails with current
events and introducing work from well-respected human rights groups. Rachel
Corrie inspired them to produce an entire series on women of conscience.


OUTDOOR READING AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY
In the center of the Princeton campus, students and locals read Rachel's
emails, inviting participation from passers-by. Newcomers got an education —
this is one way to avoid preaching to the choir!


There were many other successful events which produced extraordinary
results, not least of which were Provincetown and Santa Fe. We will add
those as they are written up for us.
