So, we urge you to educate yourselves and others, raise awareness, and show community, solidarity, and a united front in advocating for our Palestinian community in their path towards liberation.\n\nWhile we may have the privilege to turn a blind eye to the horrific acts of the Israeli government towards the native Palestinian people by turning off the news or closing our social media apps; these innocent men, women, and children can not close their eyes and pretend this is not happening to them every single second of their lives.\n\nSo, if you are located in Hayward, East Bay, or even the general Bay Area please join us for our second Shut it Down for Palestine Action, which will be a Rally and Vigil in solidarity with Palestine, outside of Hayward City Hall this Friday, 11/7 at 5PM.\n\nAny help spreading the word, reposting our content/stories, engaging with our Instagram page, donating snacks/water, setting up roadblocks, helping us gather sponsors, and/or joining us on our call to action is greatly appreciated! So please, join our action, find one near you, or plan and register your own at shutitdown4palestine.org today!\n\nAgain, NOW is the time for our mobilizations to grow in size, frequency, and focus; building a social, political, AND economic climate that makes Israel's business of genocide unsustainable.\n\n📢 No business as usual until Palestine is free! 📢 Viva Palestina!\n\n#ShutItDownForPalestine\n\n\n=================================================================\n\n\nCALL TO ACTION\n\nContact the White House, your Senators and Representative to:\n1) Ask for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
