Rallies this Sunday in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC In solidarity with the general strike called in Israel, you can join NJN at three rallies planned for San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC this Sunday. It's one more way we're sending the message that American Jews want to see aid surge to Gaza, the hostages be returned, and the war come to an end. More information for each event is available in the links below. We'd love to see you there! |
