Emergency March to End the Assault on Gaza

WHEN: Thu., Jul. 24th // 06:00 PM ~ 08:00 PM
WHERE: Pioneer Courthouse Sq., downtown
Bike Swarm for Palestine & Freedom Car Ride as Affinity Actions

Please join with thousands this Thursday — as part of a national day of action — in this urgent call to stop the Israeli massacre in Gaza, end the blockade, and end US. military support Israel. In this latest round of violence by Israel, over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed and thousands are injured. Seventy-two percent of those are civilians, including over 185 children. One hundred thousand are displaced and living in makeshift shelters; electricity has been reduced to four hours a day for 80% of the population; water has been cut off to hundreds of thousands; hospitals have been bombed and there are shortages of everything from food to medicines. We must act now!

IF YOU CAN’T MAKE THE PROTEST: There are many things you can do if you cannot attend a local rally or protest in your area. First, have you signed any of these petitions to:

The United Nations?
Corporations profiting from the invasion?
CNN, for fairer reporting on Gaza?
Israeli Leaders, by Jewish Voice for Peace?

Second, please consider making a financial contribution to Oxfam International or ANERA to help bring desperately-needed humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.
