3. Friday, 1:00pm – 2:00pm, Revolutionary Friday: Stop ALL U.S. Funding & Weapons To Israel; End the Occupation of Palestine!
SF Federal Building
90 7th Street (corner of Mission & 7th Street)
SF
More than 34.000+ Palestinians have died, this includes 14,000 + children since October 7th . 70% of the casualties are women and children. Many are still missing and lie under the rubble.
Many countries have withdrawn their $$ support and weapons to Israel, many are also sanctioning Israel. Some have take cases of GENOCIDE against Israel, US and UK to the ICJ.
The US is doing token ‘air drops’ of supplies to Gaza but continues to send weapons and push for over more funds to Israel.
We need to do more to end this carnage by calling for a GENERAL STRIKE! Not just for one day!!
Our elected federal officials, President Biden, Senators Padilla, Butler and Representative Pelosi, continue to vote and support Aid and Weapons to Israel. All are complicit in genocide.
All are welcomed to stand with the Revolutionary Workers Front, the Aaron Bushnell Brigade, and Mothers On The March at the SF Federal Building to demand an end to the genocide, illegal and violent occupation and apartheid inflicted on Palestinians by the Zionist Israeli government by the federally elected officials.
– AN END TO ALL U.S. MILITARY AID AND WEAPONS TO ISRAEL
– AN END TO THE BLOCKADE OF PALESTINE
– A GENERAL STRIKE
ViVa ViVa PALESTINA!
4. Friday, 5:00pm – 7:00pm, March for People’s Park
Starts at Willard Park, ends at Sproul Plaza.
Berkeley
Accessibility accommodations (vehicular transport) can be available upon contact (email info [at] peoplespark.org).
Come out and join the Berkeley community in a march advocating for People’s Park to remain a green space! Show your support as we declare to the UC Regents that People’s Park is a cornerstone of Berkeley’s countercultural legacy and values.
Reducing any piece of People’s Park is in direct violation of Berkeley’s Measure L, passed in 1986, which requires the Berkeley City Council to preserve and maintain the public parks and open space which exist in Berkeley, as well as to acquire and maintain public parks and open space in the census tracts and neighborhoods of Berkeley having less than the minimum amount of open space relative to population (2 acres per 1,000). Rather than reduce People’s Park, we need to increase parks and open space in this high density area, and we call on the University to cooperate and facilitate such expansion.
