Tens of thousands took the streets of the nation’s capital a day before Netanyahu’s arrival Dear Email, In a historic march in Washington, D.C. this weekend, tens of thousands took to the streets in a show of force that defied the fear-mongering and repression of the Trump administration. Demonstrations around the country sent a clear message: Gaza and Palestine will NOT be left alone. The masses are speaking in a clear voice that no matter the consequences, advocates for justice in Palestine will continue to critique Israel and its genocidal policies. Watch AMP’s Mohamad Habehh on Democracy Now! discussing the protest  Protestors marched from 3rd and Pennsylvania towards the national headquarters of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which has been abducting international students and throwing them into detention centers in Louisiana and across the country. Many demonstrators held signs demanding the release of Columbia University graduate, Mahmoud Khalil, Tufts graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk, and many others taken by ICE last month. AMP and 12 other core groups organized the march, with more than 200 groups nationwide endorsing the action. Watch AMP’s Dr. Osama Abu Irshaid speech  Relentless attacks against AMP and its leadership will not deter us from continuing on the path towards holding Israel accountable for its crimes and from working to end US support for genocide and ethnic cleansing. In solidarity,
