Most of the speakers at the "Jewish Voice for Peace" national meeting were not Jewish

Earlier this month, coinciding with May Day and going over Shabbat, Jewish Voice for Peace held a national meeting in Baltimore where they touted over 2,000 people attended.

Here is how JVP describes their on site prayer room: "There will also be a prayer room open for anyone who needs a quiet space for Muslim or Jewish prayer, or simply to sit quietly for a few minutes, as well as a separate low-sensory decompression space." Also, they provided "a facilitated ritual space to grieve our countless communal losses."
