EMERGENCY ACTION: END THE
SIEGE ON JABALIA, ALL OUT FOR GAZA & LEBANON

📆Tuesday, October 22
📍Herald Square
🕠 5:30 PM

This Tuesday, October 22nd, we will come together in rage to reject Israel's annihilation campaign that continues to escalate in Gaza to unprecedented levels. Jabalia, and all of the north of Gaza, is being suffocated before our eyes, as the Zionist regime subjects it to a terrible siege that has been going on for over two weeks now.

At the same time, Lebanon, like Gaza, is being attacked with indiscriminate bombing. The bombs that are being used to rip people’s limbs apart are shipped from the United States via companies like Maersk. New York City's ports and airports are facilitating this genocide against the people of Palestine and the broader region.
This US genocide is happening while American politicians attempt to ignore their genocide during their elections and with a complete media blackout.

We must rise up, we must mobilize, we must demand an Arms Embargo and a world free from the horrors of Zionism.

Join us in community, in comradeship, and collective outrage. Join us in the streets. #ShutItDown4Palestine

NEW YORK: NO VOTES FOR GENOCIDE

🗓️ Sat. Nov 2 @ 2 pm
📍Union Square

Just days before the U.S. Presidential election, we will take to the streets as part of a national day of action to say that there will be no votes for genocide, no rest for those funding the bloodshed of the people of Gaza and Lebanon, and no stopping the struggle for Palestinian liberation.

The current administration has the ability to enact an arms embargo that would put an end to this genocide but refuses. Instead, our government is sending tens of billions of our tax dollars to Israel, providing them with weapons, intelligence, and political cover as they continue to commit massacres in Gaza and Lebanon. During this presidential election, we won't forget the candidates who are committed to supporting Israel's ongoing genocide. We won't sit by as these candidates attempt to garner votes without meeting the demands of the people.

Join us to say NO VOTES FOR GENOCIDE, ARMS EMBARGO NOW.

🚨URGENT: TAKE ACTION TO STOP THE FLOW OF WEAPONS TO ISRAEL!

Evidence shows that NYSTED Maersk ship is CURRENTLY on its way to deliver military cargo from Tangier Med Port in Morocco to the port of Haifa to aid in the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Our investigation reveals that Maersk appears to have repeatedly funneled military cargo to Israel's Ministry of Defense. Over the past year, Maersk ships have delivered at least 260 shipments of Oshkosh vehicles and parts to the Israeli Ministry of Defense, including more than a dozen shipments of Heavy Tactical Trucks, which have been used to carry and reload rocket launchers in the field.

HELP STOP THE FLOW OF WEAPONS TO ISRAEL BY TAKING ACTION NOW:

1️⃣ Send an Email to Maersk Executives: www.maskoffmaersk.com/take-action-now
2️⃣ Jam Maersk’s Phone lines

Maersk must cut ties with genocide, and all governments in the Mediterranean who are complicit in the flow of military cargo to Israel must enact an embargo on such cargo now. THE MASK IS OFF! #MaskOffMaersk
This Saturday, December 21st, is projected to be one of the busiest shopping days of the year, and we will be in the streets for Palestine, to bring attention to the ongoing US-Israeli genocide on Gaza and to bring people into the movement for a Free Palestine. We say: ARMS EMBARGO NOW! #ShutItDown4Palestine

On Friday December 27th, the Zionist forces forcibly evacuated more than 400 Palestinian patients, doctors, and medical professionals from Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia. They then lit the hospital on fire, destroying northern Gaza’s last fully functional medical center and continuing the over 3 month long campaign of total ethnic cleansing of north Gaza. Evacuated Palestinians were directed to the nearby Indonesian Hospital which suffers from a lack of water, food, and necessary medical supplies due to previous Zionist destruction of its infrastructure. Prior to this, reports and pictures show that Palestinian men who had been in Kamal Adwan were stripped to their underwear and forced to wait in the cold for several hours in a sickening attempt to humiliate and punish them for refusing to abandon the hospital. Many are believed to have been arrested, among them prominent physician and director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Husam Abu Safiya. The attacks on Kamal Adwan come one day after Israel assassinated 5 journalists as they worked out of a clearly marked press van. Among them was Ayman Al-Jidy, who’s first child was born a mere hours after his martyrdom. Since October 7th, Israel has martyred more than 197 journalists.

Israeli’s actions in Kamal Adwan, against journalists, and throughout all of Gaza and the region indicate it intends to spend 2025 the way it spent 2024: committing a horrific genocide and attempting to draw a New Middle East with the blood of the regions’ people. The United States and Israel’s intensified bombings against Yemen, threats against the country’s leadership, and renewed intransigence in ceasefire negotiations show that the entire US ruling class is expanding America’s war against the people of the region despite repeated promises to end it.

On December 31st, hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers will gather with friends and family to commemorate 2024. They will ride subways and fill bus cars. Crowds will form in all of the city’s central areas. We must seize this opportunity to expose the US ruling class’ role in the genocide of the Palestinian people by doing outreach and getting these thousands of people organized to come to the January 20th protest at 2pm at Washington Square Park.

For the doctors, nurses and patients of Kamal Adwan, we must make sure that there is train outreach on every line of the MTA on Dec 31st. For Anas Al-Jidy and all martyred journalists, we will need speak-outs in central Brooklyn, Western Queens, and Northern Manhattan. We must mark 2024 as a year of Zionist genocide and Palestinian resistance.
NEW YORK: ALL OUT FOR PALESTINE ON NEW YEAR'S DAY

🗓️Wednesday, Jan. 1st, 2025
📍Times Square, 43rd St & Broadway
🕒 3 PM

On this New Year’s Day we declare that there is nothing new in the US while the same genocide takes place in Palestine. There can be no new beginnings when our people are being ethnically cleansed, terrorized, and tortured under the sound of US-funded drones and bombs. 

Until liberation and return🇵🇸

Through your support, the Middle East Children’s Alliance has installed a new water purification plant in the besieged Gaza City, expected to distribute over 2,000 gallons of water today.

The more than 1.4 million dollars raised by the campaign “Strengthening Steadfastness: the People Stand with Gaza” has made this possible and shown the world that the masses have not and will never abandon Palestine.

Our grassroots fundraising efforts are not just donations. They are a political act, a declaration of defiance against a system designed to erase Palestine and demoralize those who fight for it.

Check out this post with more details on how your support has helped those affected on the ground: https://www.instagram.com/p/DEnvYcMvQ6r/
GAZA WILL RISE: After 465 days of genocide, Palestinians in Gaza have not only survived, but shown the world that they will continue to rise until liberation. With the announcement of a ceasefire, the long road ahead will be one of return and rebuilding, holding Zionists and war criminals to account, and continuing to drive the struggle for liberation forward.

Join us on Thursday, January 16 at Times Square (43rd St & Broadway) at 6 PM as 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.

TODAY, on Inauguration Day, join us in NYC at Washington Square Park at 1pm.

Trump, Musk, and their billionaire friends' real agenda is to destroy worker's rights, deport millions of immigrant families, and pave the way for a complete corporate capitalist takeover by ending regulations to protect the environment, firing thousands of public sector workers, and transferring ever-larger parts of the National Treasury to the military industrial complex. Just like Biden, Trump is 100% behind Netanyahu's genocidal war against the Palestinian and Arab people.

But we can defeat the destructive program of the Trump administration. Not by following the Democratic Party establishment, but by building a massive movement against the ruling class and the political system that gives everything to billionaires while impoverishing an ever larger section of the population.

This fight starts right now. Join us in NYC!

TODAY: GLORY TO OUR MARTYRS:

🗓️ TODAY, Sunday January 26
6 pm
📍 Leif Ericson Park, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn (5th Ave and 67th Street)

Join us TODAY for a community gathering, prayer, & dua to honor the martyrs of Gaza and Palestine in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn at Leif Ericson Park (5th Ave and 67th Street).

After nearly 500 days of an unending assault on our land and our people, and with the martyrdom of an estimated hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, we come together in rage and grief to mourn those whose lives were taken by the Zionist entity while remaining steadfast on their land. As the ceasefire takes effect and we can celebrate the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, we also finally have a chance to properly honor our martyrs in Gaza who sacrificed for all of Palestine. Our martyrs are the heart of our struggle, and we remember them and keep them close as our fight towards liberation continues.

Glory to our martyrs.
