DESCRIPTION:The largest protest ever in Egypt, over 10,000 women took to the streets 
 Dec 20th, to protest police brutality and violence against women and 
 girls.\n\nCome to this women's protest and stand against violence against 
 women and girls, in solidarity with our sisters in Egypt, in the U.S., and 
 around the world.\n\nHere are the details:\n\nDear friends,\n\nMy name is 
 Shimaa and I'm an Egyptian activist from Cairo.\n Since the second half of 
 October I came to the U.S to speak about the revolution from a different 
 perspective and learn about Occupy movement. Since I'm no longer in Tahrir 
 I feel obligated to do something here.\n\nA week ago we made a proposal to 
 the GA of Occupy Oakland to sign a statement of solidarity to support 
 actions in the Bay area related to the Egyptian revolution and the struggle 
 of the Egyptian revolutionary women. \n\nThe first action I'm organizing 
 will be on Friday December the 30th. We will have a woman rally and march 
 in solidarity with the Egyptian women and to denounce the following:\n\n* 
 The violation of human rights and the targeting of female protesters by the 
 Egyptian military. \n\n* The continuous support of the U.S government to 
 SCAF that receives over than 1.3 billion $ as a form of military foreign 
 aid. \n\nThe revolutionary women and girls struggling with the revolution 
 and the systemic assaulting by the military in Egypt need the support and a 
 solidarity message from their fellow American activists of occupy and other 
 people especially women struggling in the U.S will be such a powerful 
 initiative.\n\nThese are some related articles about 2 women who have been 
 assaulted by the U.S packed military council in March and 
 December:\n\nhttp://www.roundtree7.com/2011/12/solidarity-from-oakland-to-samira-to-the-women-of-egypt/\n\nhttp://edition.cnn.com/2011/12/22/world/africa/egypt-woman-attacked/\n\n 
 \nThe rally will start at 3 pm at Occupy Oakland, we will need speakers so 
 If any of you want to speak or send a solidarity message to the women 
 struggling in Egypt you are more than welcome.\n\nBring signs and print 
 pictures, these are some high quality samples that you can use:\n\n

 us to defend the global revolution.\n\nSay no to torture and military 
 trials for Egyptians.\n\nSay no to the U.S military Aid to SCAF from the 
 tax money of the 
 99%!\n\n*********************************************\nLocation:\n\nFrank
