July 10, Milwaukee: Rally In solidarity With Palestine, End U.S. ‘Aid’ To Israel

Event Page: http://tinyurl.com/lpluzuy

4:30 p.m., Thursday, July 10, 4th Street and Wisconsin Avenue, Milwaukee

Since June 12, Israel has engaged in a brutal campaign of collective punishment against the Palestinian people, bombing Gaza and raiding West Bank towns and villages, arresting hundreds of civilians, including children across the West Bank and 1948 Palestine.

This past week we have witnessed the brutal deaths and beatings of dozens of Palestinians at the hands of both Israeli forces and Israeli settlers, such as the horrific killing of Muhammad Abu Khdeir, who was kidnapped, tortured, burned alive, and tossed in a field–an unbelievable act of savagery by the settlers.

Israel also began intensifying its bombing of Gaza in the most serious flare-up in the territory since November 2012. Israel has named this latest attack, “Operation Protective Edge,” and in ways that are eerily reminiscent of the 2009 and 2012 attacks, they have called up 1,500 reservists in the Israeli military.

Across Palestine, this wave of violence has also been met with a wave of protest and action. Palestinians are rising up and responding across all of historic Palestine, including the West Bank, Gaza, and 1948 Palestine.

We will rally to stand in solidarity with Palestinians from West Bank to Gaza to 1948 Palestine who are resisting brutal attacks by the Israeli occupiers. We demand and end to the $3.1 billion in US support for Israel’s illegal occupation.

Chicago, August 16: Food Is A Right People’s Assembly

http://peoplespowerassemblies.org/

FLYER: http://tinyurl.com/nlzd2qb

$15 MINIMUM WAGE NOW!
STOP THE FOOD STAMP CUTS!

Another wave of food stamp cuts are underway, on top of federal food stamp cuts that hit millions of poor and working people twice since November. States are reinstating work requirements and ending waivers to allow less people to qualify. But there are no jobs, especially at decent pay with benefits! And most people report they already run out of SNAP benefits after two weeks. Help us build the August 16 ‘Food is a Right’ People’s Assembly in Chicago this summer to demand money for food and jobs, not wars abroad. We will hold panels and plan actions to demand…

Stop all cuts to government SNAP and food programs

Healthy food affordable for all – end food desserts

Economic justice for food, agricultural and all workers –
including the right to unionize

Hold the corporate food industry and agribusiness accountable for their environmental and health devastation in the U.S. and worldwide

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!
