Calling all Bay Area families! Join us for a kid-friendly action and teach-in at the Oakland Federal Building! We will have art, music, a chance to record messages to children in Gaza, storytime for younger kids, a teach-in for older kids, and more. This is a great action to share with friends or family who are less comfortable bringing kids to big protests! Tell your neighbors, classmates, cousins, daycare families, and everyone else!

We demand:

1. An immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
2. Let in sufficient humanitarian aid to Gaza.
3. Human rights and self-determination for all families in Palestine.
4. No US funding for bombing, siege & occupation.
