In 2025 there were 82 PAJU vigils. We distributed 69,679 leaflets in support of the Palestinians for an average of 850 leaflets distributed per vigil.

Since October 7 2023 Paju has held 189 vigils and distributed 158,905 leaflets, an average of 841 leaflets per vigil. In the summer PAJU distributes at festivals and on streets which have been closed to cars, in the fall we distribute in front of cegeps and universities and in the winter inside metro stations outside of the turnstils.

PAJU was founded in November 2000 and in February 2001 we began to distribute leaflets at vigils. Since we have distributed hundreds of thousands of leaflets in order to encourage Quebecers to support solidarity with the Palestinians.

Our vigils forced the Israeli consul to move from Peel St to Westmount where it was less visible. Later, after years of vigils, in 2014 we forced Naot to close its store on Saint-Denis which sold shoes made in Israeli settlements.
