PLEASE POST WIDELY
Call to Action:
March on the 2008 RNC in Solidarity with the People of Palestine
On September 1, the Republican Party will be in St. Paul, Minnesota
for an international media spectacle of the highest magnitude. More
than 45,000 people, including 15,000 media employees, are expected to
be on hand for the 2008 Republican National Convention (RNC).
Additionally, in protest, tens of thousands of people will be outside
of the convention. On that day, Labor Day, the first in a series of
marches to demonstrate against the policies of the Republican Party
will be held (for more information on the large permitted march on
9/1, see: http://www.marchonrnc.org/).
The Coalition for Palestinian Rights, a Minnesota-based group of
organizations and activists in solidarity with the people of
Palestine, call on all allies everywhere to participate in the
Palestine solidarity contingency of the march on the 2008 RNC planned
for September 1st.
We invite all those who are tired of Republican and US complicity in
the ongoing killing of Palestinians and the forced expulsion of
Palestinians from their homeland; we invite all those who are fed up
with the construction of an apartheid wall built on Palestinian land
for the purpose of dividing and subjugating Palestinians; we beckon
all those who decry the inhumanity of the sanctions against and siege
of the people in Gaza; we summon all those who are disgusted with
US-made military equipment and munitions, including cluster bombs,
being unconditionally awarded to Zionist-controlled Israel; we call on
all those who are sick of government and media lies and
misrepresentations regarding the Palestinian people and US policies in
Palestine/Israel.
Media, including such foreign press as al-Jezeera, will be gleaning
messages and stories from both inside and outside the convention
center. We feel that we can send a strong message to begin creating a
better role for the United States regarding the Palestinian people.
We are calling for:
1. Communication - Forward this e-mail to a listserv or any person
who may be of like mind: they may wish to participate in the Palestine
solidarity contingency of the march. Speak with people or send them
an email now!
2. Plans to be in the Twin Cities on Sept. 1, Labor Day - If you
would like to reserve a free place to stay, you may use this housing
board: http://NoRNC.org/stay. On the 1st, the march will congregate
at the state capital. Look for the Palestinian flags and meet us
there!
3. Palestinian support materials - Bring your Palestinian flag, a
sign or clothing with your message of solidarity; wear any or all of
the Palestinian colors (Green, Black, Red, White). Also, we will have
some signs available here.
On September 1st, 2008, we can deliver a new message for Palestine to
the Republicans and to the world.
