Our next POCAT action will be
February 25th Street Theater and Direct Action against Israeli Apartheid
4 to 6 pm @ Union Square
Please join us on Thursday, February 25th in Union Square from 4-6 p.m. for a participatory, theatrical nonviolent demonstration as part of an International Day of Action called for by organizers in Palestine/Israel. From Hebron to Jerusalem, from Cape Town to Indianapolis, people will be taking action together to draw attention to Israeli apartheid policies of separation, restriction of movement and civil rights discrimination as elements of the occupation.
Shuhada Street, the main street in the West Bank City of Hebron, has been closed to Palestinians since February 25th, 1994, when an Israeli settler massacred Palestinians in Hebron’s mosque. Hebron organizers from Youth Against Settlements, Ta’ayush and other regional anti-occupation groups have called for activists around the world to demonstrate in solidarity with the Palestinian residents of Shuhada Street, and all Palestinians resisting occupation, colonization and apartheid.
For more information, check out the global action website at Openshuhadastreet.org, including a list of contacts for other locations. Please pass the word on!
This action is being organized by Dialogues Against Militarism with members of People of Color Action Theater, International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network, Iraq Veterans Against the War, Catalyst Project and War Resisters League — in alliance with other organizations locally and with the Open Shuhada Street Coalition in Palestine/Israel.
