No going back to the status quo; we need to go big and bold now for Palestinian liberation! Dear Supporter, We need to go big and bold right now for Palestinian liberation now that a ceasefire has gone into effect. No return to the status quo. It is time for Israeli settler-colonialism, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, military occupation, and blockade to be dismantled now! Today, we’re launching a new national campaign and calling for a national march on Washington, DC on Saturday, May 29. Visit our new website www.sanctionisrael.org for the details. We’re calling on you today to help us by: 1. Signing our petition to the Biden administration to sanction Israel, end weapons transfers, support war crimes trials against Israel, and support Palestinian liberation! 2. Continuing to call, write, and tweet at your Members of Congress to support the historic AOC/Sanders joint resolution to block bombs to Israel. Over the past two days, you’ve generated tens of thousands of calls, letters, and tweets, and your advocacy is making huge advances! Today, the House version of the resolution was officially released with 15 original sponsors and cosponsors. 3. Saving the date for a national march for Palestine on Washington, DC on Saturday, May 29. Help us spread the word--more details to follow soon! 4. Continuing to educate yourself about Palestine by joining us for our two upcoming events. * Join us tomorrow, Saturday, May 22 at 1 PM Eastern for a webinar on the continuing Nakba with Palestinian filmmaker Rawan Aldamen, academic Ilan Pappe, Stop the Wall’s Manal Shqair, and Gaza-based activist Mahmoud Shark. * And on Tuesday, May 25 at 8 PM Eastern, join us for a virtual national gathering for Palestine with Imams Omar Suleiman and Suhaib Webb, and many more special guests to be announced soon. Find out all the details about these plans on our new website www.sanctionisrael.org. Thank you for your continued activism for Palestinian rights. Sincerely,
Dr. Osama Abuirshaid
Executive Director
