Join the Shutdown for Palestine Friday, Nov. 24, 2023 TOGETHER WE CAN STOP GENOCIDELET'S CALL FOR PEACE~*~ Calling on movements, organized labor, youth, students, media and healthcare workers, and all individual members of society to join in demanding an immediate ceasefire, cutting all aid to Israel, and lifting the siege on Gaza.
This call to action started on November 9, but continues to build up the momentum with ongoing days of action. Join the day of action this Friday and every day afterwards.
No business as usual until Palestine is Free!
There is a growing global movement for a Free Palestine. Across the world, millions of people are engaging in demonstrations and organizing major marches in solidarity with Palestine. Our demands for an immediate ceasefire, cutting all aid to Israel, and lifting the siege on Gaza have broader support than ever. On November 4th, over 150,000 gathered in Washington DC for the largest march in recent times to stand in solidarity with Palestine. Protests with half a million people erupted on the streets of London, constituents across Canada occupied over 17 MP offices from coast to coast, and Belgian dock workers' unions have refused to transport weapons by plane or sea that are destined for Israel. We must keep building momentum and increase the pressure with more marches, walk-outs, sit-ins, and other forms of direct action directed at the political offices, businesses, and workplaces that fund, invest, and collaborate with Israeli genocide and occupation. NOW is the time for our mobilizations to grow in size, frequency, and focus; building a political climate that makes Israel’s business of genocide unsustainable.
Already protesters have shut down highways, train stations, and bridges in the United States; activists have targeted Israeli weapons manufacturers; Belgian dockworkers’ unions have refused to handle weapons transports to Israel; Bolivia has cut diplomatic ties with Israel while Jordan, Chile, and Colombia have recalled their Israeli ambassadors. Be part of the change, take action, and make your voice heard as the global struggle for Palestine enters a new phase.
No business as usual until Palestine is Free!
Walk out from work and/or school

Host speak outs or engage your family and friends in conversations about Palestine and the need for Peace.
Wear kuffiyehs
Wear black armbands

Call your representatives and senators and demand they fight to stop funding Israel's war efforts.
Research what policies exist in your state and country that are supporting this genocide and/or punishing those who boycott it. Then fight those policies

Keep going from this list...Come up with even more ideas for actions

If you are American, you are, in part and every single day, paying to commit this genocide, if you do nothing about the blood that is on your hands, it will stay there and you will experience the consequences of this violent social karma.
Do what you know to be right in your heart, for you, whatever that is.
~*~
If not now, when? If not us, who? If not this, what?
We all have to participate.
We can start here.
