🚨 This morning protestors blocked the I-90 highway entrance into downtown Chicago during morning rush hour for 1 hour to honor one year of anti-colonial Palestinian resistance.

Palestinian Youth and Allies will not allow business to go on as usual while our tax dollars are funding genocide. The protest is part of a larger campaign calling for Illinois to divest from the state of Israel.

Palestinian youth & allies block highway entrance into downtown Chicago during morning rush hour in honor of one year of resistance and the 180,000+ Palestinians that have been martyred in this past year of Israel’s genocide in Gaza funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars. There will be no business as usual while bombs are being dropped in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, and Syria. We demand that Illinois divests the $85 million from Israel bonds and we will not stop until Illinois has divested from Israel in every sector.

Tonight we are UNWELCOMING war criminals Clinton and Senator Duckworth from our city! If you don’t know, Hilary Clinton said that calling for a ceasefire would  “perpetuate the cycle of violence”,,, said “it’s been Palestinians who have stood in the way of any kind of permanent peace.” 180,000+ Palestinians, Lebanese, and Yemenis have been brutally bombed at the hands of israel. We will not stay silent when the US is committing genocide! 

Senator Tammy Duckworth represents the largest population of Palestinians in the diaspora and has the WORST stance on Palestine and told us she would never divest from Israel. Duckworth has still not called for a permanent ceasefire.
