Milwaukee: March to Gaza Art Build June 12 and Rally June 14, 2025

Please join us this Thursday June 12th for an art build to make signs and props for our upcoming action,the March to Gaza on June 14th! The March to Gaza (6/12-6/20) is a global call aiming to open the Rafah crossing to deliver aid into Gaza from Egypt; our action is a sister march showing solidarity and delivering the message locally that the siege must be lifted. 

Our goal for the march is to be highly visible to the many people that will be out and about during festival season. We will be marching for about 3 miles, returning to our start point. All participation levels are welcome, you do not need to march the full route or you can choose to stay at the starting point. This action is family friendly; kids and families are encouraged to march with us or hang back and fly kites which you can bring with you or purchase nearby. If you’d like to decorate a kite you already own, bringing it to the art build is a good place to do so!
