The growing coalition of organizations
mobilizing for the national march on Washington for Palestine is
excited to announce that permits have been obtained! The
demonstration will begin at 2:00 p.m. at Freedom Plaza (Pennsylvania
Avenue between 13th and 14th streets). Tens of thousands will
gather at this historic location in the heart of D.C. to raise our
voices for justice.
Now is the time to stand with the besieged people of Palestine!
Gaza is being bombed by the hour. Its people are denied food, water
and electricity by Israel. Tens of thousands more people are likely to
die. We must ACT! People are in the streets everyday in their local
cities and towns. Now we must UNITE!
Hundreds of new endorsements are pouring in from across the
country for this mass action. As Israel intensifies its genocidal
assault on Gaza, more and more organizations and individuals are
coming forward to stand with the Palestinian people. Initial
co-sponsoring organizations include:
- Palestinian Youth Movement
- ANSWER Coalition
- American Muslim Association
- The People’s Forum
- National Students for Justice in Palestine
- Al-Awda: The Palestine Right to Return Coalition
- U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN)
- U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR)
- Maryland2Palestine
Tens of thousands of people will be converging on the nation's
capitol to show that the people stand with Palestine and demand an end
to U.S. support for Israel's crimes. People will be traveling by
plane, by train, in car pools -- and on buses being chartered by
organizers all across the country. Preliminary information from
several key cities below -- updated information about transportation
options will be posted here, with many more cities
announcing this weekend.
