HAPPENING NOW: SHUT IT DOWN FOR PALESTINE – CALL FOR IMMEDIATE SUPPORT
COME TO JOIN US NOW (where de Lorimer and Papineau converge), CALL ALL YOUR FRIENDS, HELP KEEP IT SHUT DOWN
This morning, as Israel continues its relentless assault on civilians, schools and hospitals in the Gaza strip, hundreds of Montrealers have disrupted rush hour traffic on the Jacques-Cartier Bridge. In the face of the horrific, genocidal violence currently being inflicted upon the people of Gaza, and in solidarity with all the people of Palestine, we are putting an end to business as usual. We are demanding an immediate ceasefire, an end to the genocide currently being carried out against the people of Gaza, and an end to Canadian complicity in Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land.
*** Please join us right now! Please call your friends and forward on all platforms! We need your *immediate* support to increase our numbers and to help amplify our voices. We all have a role to play in the struggle against genocide and apartheid. ***
• WHERE: Jacques-Cartier Bridge, south-east of Parc Des Faubourgs, where de Lorimer and Papineau converge (close to metro Papineau).
If this area is not accessible, meet instead at Metro Papineau for a rally.
•. WHEN: Thursday, November 16, 7h00 RIGHT NOW!
• HELP MOBILIZE: We need as many people as possible to support our action! Please call friends and allies right now and wake them up to join us, and please share our calls on social media!
Since the escalation began on October 7, over 11,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 25,000 injured in Gaza. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced from their homes, and are currently living in tents as winter rains begin to fall. At the same time, attacks from settlers and Israeli soldiers have increased dramatically in the West Bank – over 185 Palestinians have been killed and 2000 injured. This latest round of violence is a continuation of Israel’s decades-long colonial occupation of Palestine, and its ambition to further dispossess the Palestinian people from their land. This is an absolute catastrophe, and all people of conscience must stand against it.
From Tiohtià:ke (Montreal) to Palestine occupation is a crime!
Join us now and demand a free Palestine!
