Dear Friend,

As you all know, the architect of the genocide himself is coming to Washington one week from today. A massive coalition of organizations has called for an emergency mobilization to surround Congress, and to arrest him for war crimes. We need your help.

Netanyahu is coming to D.C. to try and overcome his global isolation with the help of the Washington elite. We are going to show that we won't let him, or the genocide, be normalized. Buses are confirmed from cities far and wide. ANSWER chapters are now scrambling to reserve additional buses. 

To keep the tickets affordable, we take a significant loss for every bus, but we know we can make this happen because of the generosity and sacrifice of people like you, who see the importance of not letting Netanyahu use Congress to wash his bloody hands. 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: 

• Buses from Atlanta are $8,000. From Western Mass. and Maine cost even more.
• We've already spent $29,000 on buses from New York City.
• The sound and stage alone cost over $30,000.

This is just a small sampling. The total expenses are already approaching $100,000. Our organization is fueled by teams of volunteers who have been working night and day in chapters nationwide to help make this action 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, will not abandon the Palestinian people. When Congress gives Netanyahu a standing ovation one week from now, they won't be speaking for us. Thank you again for all your hard work to get out the message of this movement. See you next Wednesday in the streets!

In struggle,

Brian Becker
Executive Director, ANSWER Coalition
