Sunday, August 11
1. Sunday, 10:00am, EMERGENCY PROTEST: Tell Killer Kamala: Cut Ties with Israel!
Meet at:
Union Square
San Francisco
Kamala Harris is in the Bay! Tell Killer Kamala: Cut Ties with Israel!
Genocide Joe or Killer Kamala — it’s all the same agenda! Just yesterday, Israel used US-made weapons to bomb a school housing displaced Palestinians in Gaza, killing at least 100 Palestinians during their morning prayer. It is no coincidence that the Biden-Harris administration approved $3.5 Billion in new weapons for Israel the day before. As long as Kamala continues to provide Israel with the weapons and support necessary to carry out their genocide in Gaza, she will be faced with our movement wherever she goes.
Join us TODAY, Sunday, August 11, to confront Kamala Harris and demand: END ALL U.S. AID TO ISRAEL! ARMS EMBARGO NOW! FREE PALESTINE! The masses are not fooled by Harris, who bankrolls this genocide as the Vice President and is unwavering in her commitment to continue sending weapons to Israel.
Kamala Harris is in San Francisco for a high-end campaign fundraiser, with ticket costs as high as $500,000. As we’ve done with Biden, we need to confront Kamala Harris wherever she goes! KILLER KAMALA OUT OF SF

Fairmont Hotel

With widespread starvation and slaughter in Gaza in mind, funded by the US, we say, from our hearts to hers “LET GAZA LIVE!”

425 7th Street

On April 15, the Golden Gate 26 were arrested for their bold and principled action against the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Now, in a grotesque act of pro-genocide political repression, SF DA Jenkins is charging them with felonies and misdemeanors. The 26 have been issued arrest warrants, and will have to turn themselves in—but will never relinquish their solidarity for Palestine!
CALL FOR COMMUNITY SUPPORT MONDAY 8/12, 8AM @ 425 7th St
