Dear Friend,
As you all know, a strong coalition
of organizations has called for an emergency mobilization to surround
the White House, and now we need your help.
The action comes at a crucial time.
The latest massacre in Rafah showed once again that Biden's red line
was fake. So we will be the red line at the White House
gates. Buses are confirmed from
cities far and wide. Because we've only had two weeks to organize a
massive event like this, ANSWER chapters are now scrambling to reserve
additional buses as they sell out of tickets.
Even though we take a significant
loss for every additional bus, we know we can make this happen because
of the generosity and sacrifice of people like you, who are committed
to ending this terrible genocide. I’m writing today to ask that you consider
making an urgently needed donation to help us cover costs so we can
have the largest possible mobilization.
If you already donated, I want to
thank you for your contribution.
To give you a sense of
things:
- Each of ANSWER's 4 buses from
Boston costs $7,300. Even though we fully expect to sell every ticket
(at $70), we will lose thousands of dollars per bus. Buses from Iowa
($12,500), Western Mass. and Maine cost even more.
-
We've already spent $45,000 on buses
from New York City, with each bus incurring a loss.
- The sound and stage alone cost over $12,000.
This is just a small sampling. The total expenses are already
over $150,000. Our organization is fueled by teams of volunteers who
have been working night and day in chapters nationwide to help make
this march a huge success. But we don’t have the financial resources
to maintain this without your help — please make a donation here. We’re asking you to
pitch in with whatever you can.
Together, we will send an
unmistakable message to the world: the people of the United States,
from all walks of life, demand an end to this genocide, and that means
ending all weapons and aid to Israel. We will not be fooled by Biden
administration’s fake "red line" rhetoric. Thank you again for all
your hard work to get out the message of this movement. See you
Saturday!
In struggle,
Brian Becker Executive Director, ANSWER Coalition
