[Chicago] Mass Protest Against Invasion of Gaza

re-posted from Facebook Events

Just like the Friday rally on January 2, 2009, we are gathering to protest the crimes committed by Israeli occupational forces in Gaza. Endorsed and sponsored by organizations such as American Muslims for Palestine and other Palestinian solidarity movements, this rally is expected to be the biggest yet. With over 10,000 people expected, join us to speak out against Israeli aggression and the siege of Gaza.

The time is set for 3:30 PM this Friday, January 9, 2009. We will begin at the Daley Plaza at 50 W Washington St. and then we will march to the Israeli Consulate and demand the proper action: that Israeli occupation ends; that Israeli aggression halts; that Gazans (and all Palestinians) be treated like human beings; that the borders surrounding Gaza be opened; and that the crimes of the Israeli government end now. Due to high expectations in turnout numbers, we may be able march through the streets of downtown Chicago.

This protest is nothing short of history-making. Not only are we speaking out, we are attracting national coverage which tilts heads towards our goal of ending the Israeli occupation and siege of Gaza.

Please join us in this active movement for peace, justice, and freedom in the Middle East.
