Emergency protest today, July 31, 5pm
Dag Hammarsjold Plaza at 46th and 1st
Join us for this important protest, which will begin at Dag Hammarsjold Plaza, slightly north of the United Nations. It will be followed by a march to Ralph Bunche Park, directly across from the UN. From there, the march will continue on 42nd street, past Grand Central, to Times Square.
On July 30, 2006 Israel bombed a building where 100 civilians had taken shelter, massacring at least 54 Lebanese civilians, including 37 children in the city of Qana. Israeli missiles struck just after one in the middle of the night, leveling a three-story building where two extended families had taken refuge in the basement from heavy Israeli bombardment in the area.

Help us spread the word about the August 12 National March in Washington. In the next two weeks, we have the enormous task of distributing thousands of flyers, putting up posters, making phone calls, and getting our antiwar perspective into the media. Against the non-stop barrage of media and government lies, our outreach teams go directly into the communities to distribute literature and engage community members with conversations about the U.S.-Israeli aggression and its connection with the war on Iraq. This work is essential for the success of the August 12 mobilization, and the antiwar movement in general.
Over the last week, we've sent outreach teams to Bay Ridge, Astoria, Harlem, and Union Square. Help us continue this important work. At tomorrow's meeting, we will discuss outreach plans, and strategize to spread the August 12th message as far and wide as possible.
If you can't make the meeting, your contribution is still needed. If you have just a few spare hours any day before August 12th to volunteer, call the office at 212-694-8720 or email [email protected], and one of our organizers will let you know how you can get involved.
