Dear John,

This is a heartfelt call to action. On Saturday, January 13th, we stand together in Washington, DC, marching for justice, for peace, and for the rights of our Palestinian brothers, sisters, and siblings in Gaza. They are enduring a brutal, genocidal assault – an affront to their human dignity marked by ethnic cleansing and oppressive apartheid-like conditions.

I urge you, regardless of your color, gender, national identity, or sexual orientation, to join us. This is a call to all persons of moral conscience. We must gather in unity to exert pressure on the Biden administration, challenging their immoral complicity in the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Our voices will resound in unison, calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire. We demand an end to U.S. complicity in these atrocities. It's time to echo and commend the courageous stance taken by South Africa in invoking the Genocide Convention. We call upon other nations to stand with us, to support this call for justice and human dignity.

This march is a historic moment of solidarity - bearing witness to our collective resolve to fight against injustice wherever it rears its ugly head. Let us come together to show that our commitment to human rights knows no bounds.

I look forward to standing shoulder to shoulder with you in Washington, DC. Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can be the change.

In Solidarity and Hope,

Dr. Cornel West
