CEASEFIRE NOW! RALLY FOR GAZA!

CEASEFIRE NOW! MASS RALLY FOR GAZA!

We demand an immediate ceasefire.

Palestinians are on the brink of a genocide, and our government is bankrolling it. Every year, the US sends over $3 billion in military aid—now being used to rain bombs on Gaza. As Americans, we are not observers in this conflict, we are actors. That’s why we are joining calls around the world and directing them at our government to call for an immediate ceasefire, to open humanitarian aid flows into Gaza, and to end US funding for war crimes.

Over 3,300 Palestinians have been killed since October 7, over 1,000 of them children. One child has been killed every 15 minutes in 11 days of airstrikes. Over one million people have been displaced. There are no bomb shelters in Gaza. Hospitals have run out of painkillers, and ice cream trucks are being used to store bodies. Water is scarce.

Ceasefire is the only way for the deaths to stop. Ceasefire is the only way to bring hostages home. Ceasefire is what every person of conscience must be demanding. Ceasefire now, let in humanitarian aid, end military aid, end the blockade, end the occupation, end apartheid.

Join us on Friday at 5pm, outside the New York Public Library steps at Bryant Park, to stand on the right side of history, and call for #CeasefireNow
