RALLY:

End All Military Aid To Israel!
End the War on Gaza!
This Sat., Jan. 13

2pm

Westlake
400 Pine St

 

 

Join DSA members and others this Saturday for a rally and march for the over 23,000 children, families, and innocent civilians slaughtered by Israel's bombing and total siege of Gaza. We must end the senseless cycle of violence in the Middle East by ending the policy of occupation and war. Join the growing movement to demand an end to all US military aid for Israel , and an end to the war, occupation, apartheid and Free Palestine!

While the Democratic Party Establishment - including Adam Smith - fell over themselves to lavish military funding and weaponry for the slaughter of thousands of innocent Palestinians, Seattle DSA has stood shoulder to shoulder with Palestinians. We've attended every rally and Seattle DSA members have joined the blockade of the Port of Tacoma, Boeing, the Space Needle and Senator Murray's office, risking arrest. Seattle DSA has also produced the banner above and picket signs to demand FREE PALESTINE and and End to All Military Aid to Israel.

To produce more, we need your help. Can you kick down $15/month to counter the roughly $15 billion Biden is proposing to send to the Israeli war machine? If you can't make a recurring monthly donation, please donate $15, $50, or $100 to produce more pickets signs to End all US Military Aid to Israel!

✊ Let’s start the year with some strong GOTV canvasses ✊

  • Our field campaign is the heart and soul of this movement.  It's how we collected 17k signatures and it's how we'll deliver the votes to win!
  • We need socialists THIS WEEK to knock on some doors and start getting the word! 
  • Our opponents are mobilizing against us. A “No On 23-02” PAC has officially launched, and has collected $68,000 over the holiday break. We’ll need people power to beat them back!

 

❓What to bring to a canvass: ❓

  • Make sure to bring some water, comfortable clothes, and snacks!
  • Prepare for the weather - bring a raincoat or sun protection depending on the forecast.
  • If you can, bring a friend! Bringing one extra canvasser can DOUBLE your output!
