San Francisco Gaza Rally January 16, 2025

After 465 days of genocide, Palestinians in Gaza have shown the world that they will continue to rise until liberation. We know that this ceasefire is not enough, but an essential step on the path to liberation. We stand with Palestinians in Gaza, demand accountability for Zionist and imperialist war criminals and all their accomplices, and recommit ourselves to the struggle and the long road ahead.
Bring Palestinian flags, kuffiyehs, and your voices. We’ll see you in the streets.

From AROC’s Ceasefire statement:
This is also a moment to intensify our organizing. As this movement grows, it continues to face relentless attacks from right-wing forces and state repression. These efforts aim to delegitimize and suppress calls for Palestinian liberation, and all voices for justice. We must remain vigilant and defend our movement from these threats, ensuring it remains a powerful force for change in the face of adversity.
We must continue to mobilize, speak out, and pressure decision-makers to follow the lead of the majority of people in the US and across the world who support Palestinian freedom. As we mark this ceasefire, it is time to redouble our efforts with clear demands:
- Ensure the ceasefire remains permanent.
- Demand that Israel withdraw its military from Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and all occupied lands.
- Guarantee unrestricted aid and reconstruction for Gaza.
- Hold Israel accountable for its crimes against humanity.
After 16 long months of organizing, protesting, and grieving. This ceasefire grants us all an opportunity to pause and reflect on how far we’ve come, and how much further we still have to go. The fight continues for a world free of war, fascism, racism, colonialism, and exploitation. Despite the horrors inflicted upon us, we will continue to fight for it. And we will win.
