Dear friends,

This week marks the sixtieth year of the occupation of Palestine and the dislocation of more than 750,000 Palestinians from Palestine. Take a stand against the 'celebration' of 60 years of occupation and ethnic cleansing. Join us in saying "60 years of occupation- NO TIME TO CELEBRATE!!!"

Come join us for demonstrations at 6pm on Thursday, May 8 in San Francisco.

In solidarity with Palestinian resistance to Zionism,

Does anyone know why Dead Prez pulled out at the last minute? Rumor has it they were disgusted by the pledge they had to sign, but I'm not able to confirm that. Anyone know?
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
