Plainfield ComeYounity Day
Honoring the memory of Wadee AlFayoumi

Sunday October 13, 2024
2-4 PM
Settlers Park - 24401 W. Lockport St. Plainfield IL 60544

Please attend this short program to honor the memory of Wadee AlFayoumi. Time flies. It will one year on October 14 since the brutal murder of Wadee.

His fault? Being an American child born to Palestinian parents who had immigrated to escape the horrors of genocide in their country.

Wadee was only six years old!

The constant rhetoric by right wing media and politicians pushed his 70 year old landlord over the edge.

We have to take a stand against hate in all its forms and ensure that Wadee's sacrifice was not in vain and Plainfield and all America reject extremism and hate.

Please note: This is not a protest. Let's be respectful and let the world know the resilience of the Palestinian community which has been under siege for decades now.

Program will start at 2 PM sharp with a short address by the Mayor of Plainfield John Argoudelis, poem reading by a young child, short messages from some Plainfield residents, community building activities and the release of balloons with messages from community members.

To our beloved community- please know the we as organizers of the vigil do not support the White House. We did not invite them. As a Muslim Rep was sent to convey his condolences, out of respect we gave him the space to speak; hoping that he would take back what his community is saying. We listened to them hoping they would listen to us. We had a discussion afterwards with the rep as well. Please know that we were actively fighting in the background to reduce his time addressing the community that the White House so clearly does not care for. We apologize for any pain his presence caused our community as that was not our intention. Our comments to the public were simply to ensure public safety. Please know that we won’t always get it perfect, mistakes will be made- but we hear you, we are with you, and we will put in the work to do better. InshaAllah there will be no next time as we hope to not lose another innocent life. But we are with you. Following the visit, one of organizers sent the following email to the White House rep (see attached)
