Thank you to EVERYONE who advocated for the passage of the SF Board of Supervisors Resolution for
‘Calling for Sustained Ceasefire in Gaza, Humanitarian aid,release of hostages, and condemning anti-Semitic, anti-Palestinian, and Islamophobi rhetoric and attacks.
Every act of resistance matters from signing petitions, calling, writing your legislatures, attending demos, events/actions, educating your friends, family and community. The petition is symbolic but important! THANK YOU AGAIN and Continue the Struggle!

As the genocide in Gaza intensifies, our movement continues to fight with all our might for a permanent ceasefire. This past October, a US military vessel left the port of Oakland and headed to Israel with military equipment, and technology that were used against the people of Gaza. This ship is on its way back to Oakland. Stand with people and workers of conscience across the world. Join us as we kick off APTP’s week of action commemorating the militant legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Join us to say no to the war machine in Gaza, and no to the war machine right here in Oakland.

A documentary about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
“Through riveting and moving personal recollections of both Palestinians and Israelis, 1948: Creation & Catastrophe reveals the shocking events of the most pivotal year in the most controversial conflict in the world. It tells the story of the establishment of Israel as seen through the eyes of the people who lived it. It is simply not possible to make sense of what is happening in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict today without an understanding of 1948. This documentary was the last chance for many of its Israeli and Palestinian characters to narrate their first-hand accounts of the creation of a state and the expulsion of a nation.”
Sunday, January 14, 1:00pm, West Coast: National March in Washington for Gaza
Civic Center Plaza, San Francisco, San Francisco CA
335 McAllister St.
SF
Description: ALL OUT FOR GAZA‼️ For three straight months, the people have been organizing, marching and demonstrating in support of Palestine. On November 4th, 2023 half a million people made history by conducting the largest march for Palestine in the history of the United States. And now, it is time to keep up the momentum and march once more. As Israel continues to ramp up its attacks on Gaza, the West Bank and the broader region, it is imperative that we make our voices heard and put maximum pressure on the White House to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, an end ton all US aid to Israel, a lift of the siege on Gaza, and an end to the occupation!
