Kuffiya Contingent: Poor People’s Campaign Rally and March
Saturday March 2, 10:30 AM, State Street Steps, State Capital, Madison
The Wisconsin Poor People’s Campaign has added a call for Ending the War Economy, Militarism & Genocide to Saturday’s rally and march at the State Capital starting at 10:30 a.m.
Please join us in a Free Palestine contingent! Wear Kuffiyas and bring along your signs and banners calling for a ceasefire and an end to US weapons funding for Israel. Look for us under the Palestinian flags on the State Street steps to the Sate Capital at 10:30, or during the march whenever you arrive.
The Poor People’s campaign is coming to Madison to demand living wages, voting rights, healthcare, fully-funded public education, a healthy environment, clean water, affordable and decent housing, an end to the war economy, militarism and genocide, an end to poverty.
Israel’s bill to U.S. taxpayers for their assault on Gaza and continuing occupation of the West Bank will be $18 billion for 2023 and early 2024. That’s $3.8 billion in annual aid, plus a $14.5 billion supplemental package.
Here’s what we’re buying: Israel’s bombardment of Gaza has killed over 30,000 people in 5 months, including 12,660 children. Israel is now preparing to invade Rafah, a 25 square mile area at the southern end of Gaza where 1.5 million people are now sheltering in hospitals, schools and tents. Please join us in demanding that US Funding for Israel’s military be redirected to human needs and insist that the Biden administration call for No Ground Invasion of Rafah.
The Poor People’s campaign is visiting statehouses across the country on Saturday to demand living wages, voting rights, healthcare, fully-funded public education, a healthy environment, clean water, affordable and decent housing, an end to the war economy, militarism and genocide, an end to poverty. Let’s add our voices and call for an end to US funding of genocide.
