We invite you to join us to bear witness to 3 years of devasation in Gaza on October 8, Thursday at CCB Plaza. All day we will speak aloud the names of the 73,000+ people killed in the US-backed genocide. We'll also raise funds for families in the Gaza Strip through Wonderpuff.

"Palestinians displaced by Israels war in Gaza are facing a new threat" Why are Palestinians displaced? Is it because Israel has damaged or destroyed over 90% of all housing in Gaza? And why didn't you mention the fact they are blocking the entry of tents/shelters into Gaza?

Today the #FreedomFlotilla Coalition set sail with roughly 100 people aboard 'Conscience' - with many healthcare workers & journalists. Our goal is to break Israel’s illegal siege, to provide international correspondents chances to report from #Gaza, & deliver urgently needed medical support.
Background image of Conscience vessel at sea. 
Text "The Conscience, MEDIA & MEDICS BOAT TO GAZA HAS LAUNCHED.
Joining the 8 boats that set sail on 27 Sept to break Israel's illegal siege.
For nearly 2 years, foreign reporters have been banned from Gaza. Palestinian journalists have faced assassination, imprisonment and daily danger. Gaza's health workers have been killed, abducted and tortured, while most international medics are barred from entering.
Today we sail in solidarity with our colleagues. We will keep fighting to reach Gaza's shores and amplify the truth of Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people of Gaza alongside them."
