Gaza Solidarity Day Action to "End the Siege of Gaza" June 6, 2009

Saturday, June 6 marks the 42nd anniversary of the Israeli seizure of Gaza. Organizations and individuals in solidarity with the people of Palestine will be taking to the streets once again to demand: End the Siege of Gaza!

The world looked on in horror this past winter as Israel mercilessly starved and bombed the people of Gaza, killing more than 1,400 Palestinians (at least a third of whom were children). The Arab world now refers to the dark days from the end of December to mid-January “The Gaza Massacre.” Although the mainstream media no longer focuses on Gaza, the suffering continues there nonetheless. Using the pretext of combating terrorism, Israel has refused to allow in even one truckload of cement into Gaza. In other words, the city that was reduced to rubble still lies in rubble today. All these months later, people are still living in tents and are scarcely able to secure the necessities of life.

Sponsoring organizations include ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), Muslim American Society Freedom, National Council of Arab ¬Americans, Free Palestine Alliance, Al-Awda—Palestine Right of Return Coalition, Int’l Socialist Organization, Industrial Workers of the World—Bay Area, American Muslims for Palestine, FMLN—N. Calif., Barrio Unido, Middle East Children’s Alliance and more!
