Interfaith Works News

Interfaith Works is excited to be welcoming founding members of the Combatants for Peace to our city September 22nd through September 25th, 2026. Interfaith Works is hosting two public events with these visiting activists. Both events are on Thursday, September 24th.

• The first event will be held from 12-1 pm at at Squaxin Park in shelter #1 in the old rose garden. It will be a community ritual of healing with founding members of Combatants for Peace about collective liberation and healing. We will gather to listen, reflect, connect, and imagine our pathways forward together. You can RSVP for the first event with this link.
• The main presentation will be offered at 7pm in the gymnasium of Westminster Presbyterian Church (1925 Boulevard Rd SE, Olympia, WA 98501). This event will feature extensive sharing by these remarkable founding members of Combatants for Peace about their work and mission. You can register for the main event with this link.
  • Once registered, you may choose to attend via Zoom

Lodging accommodations are still being sought for these special guests. There will be 5 adults total and they can be split up in 2 groups (3 women & 2 men). Please note there are smokers in both the male and female groups. They do not expect to smoke indoors. They will be arriving the evening of Sep 22nd and leaving their lodging on the morning of the 25th. At this time, the only expectation with this ask is to provide a space for them to stay during their limited downtime. We are working on what providing meals looks like as a separate factor.
