THIS FRIDAY -- Find a Protest Near You: Shut it Down for Palestine!

Register your action here

We are just two days away from the next global day of action to Shut It Down for Palestine! A powerful people's movement has emerged to stop Israel's genocide in Gaza and support the Palestinian people's struggle for freedom.

Millions of people around the world are determined to disrupt business as usual to demand a ceasefire and a free Palestine! Not only are the Shut It Down actions taking place in the U.S. cities listed below, but actions are being called in dozens of countries across the globe. For instance, student movements in Palestine as well as student organizations in 16 countries throughout North Africa and the Middle East have now issued a call to hold actions on Friday.

NOW is the time for our mobilizations to grow in size, frequency, and focus; building a political climate that makes Israel’s business of genocide unsustainable.

Please make an urgently-needed tax-deductible donation to help keep this movement growing.
