May 25th is an International call to action: Day of global one-day hunger strikes for Palestinian prisoners. We invite you to join us for a protest and press conference at the Israeli Consulate in support of the Day of global one-day hunger strikes for Palestinian prisoners.
Join a coalition of Palestinian groups and solidarity activists, including JVP and Norcal Sabeel to demand that Israel meet the just demands of the strikers to be treated according to internationally recognized human rights standards.
In April of 2017, over 1000 Palestinian prisoners launched the largest collective hunger strike in years, on the occasion of marking 50 years of military occupation & nearly 70 years of Israel’s displacement & imprisonment of Palestinians.
Their demands are simple including: reinstating visitation rights, installing phones, improving medical care, and ending solitary confinement and administrative detention (the practice of holding prisoners for indefinite periods without charge or trial).
Sponsoring coalition includes: Al-Awda - San Francisco, ANSWER Coalition- Act Now to Stop War and End Racism. Arab Resource and Organizing Center, Jewish Voice for Peace, Bay Area, Middle East Children’s Alliance, Palestinian Youth Movement, Norcal Sabeel, USPCN-United States Palestinian Community Network - Northern California.
