NATIONAL DAY OF PROTEST TO END THE SIEGE OF GAZA
Saturday, January 10
11am-2pm
Civic Center— Van Ness and Market in San Francisco
This is a national day of protest with actions across the United States to stop the US/Israeli war on Gaza. The Israeli government has escalated its constant attacks on Gaza into a ground invasion. Hundreds of Palestinians have been murdered and thousands wounded. The bombs are being dropped on schools, homes, ambulances, tunnels, places of worship and more, all paid for with US tax dollars to the tune of $15 million a day, $6 billion a year. That is why we have no education, no housing, no healthcare and no pensions; we cannot have guns and butter. Organized by ANSWER.
Join the anti-authoritarian presence at the march, organized by UA in the Bay
Stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and against US/Israeli militarism. ANSWER isn’t the only game in town! Same time, same place, march in solidarity but with a collective anti-authoritarian vision for a better world! Look for the Black Flags!
