DESCRIPTION:This Saturday, September 13th, from 12pm to 2pm, we will meet at Milyar 
 Cafe, located at 3300 Adeline St in Berkeley, to continue raising our 
 voices in support of the Palestinian people against the ongoing 
 genocide.\n\nWe will demand that the Oakland Port Authority end its 
 complicity in genocide. The Oakland International Airport is being used to 
 ship U.S. military cargo to Israel, supporting war crimes and violating 
 international humanitarian law, the Leahy Law, and the Genocide Convention. 
 We will call on Mayor Barbara Lee and Congresswoman Lateefah Simon to 
 publicly denounce these weapons shipments and take action to stop them. 
 \n\nWe will also write to members of Congress to dismantle the Gaza 
 Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), whose U.S. contractors are implicated in the 
 killing of almost two thousand Palestinians as they sought humanitarian 
 aid. Israeli troops and GHF personnel have been accused of firing on 
 civilians, using tear gas, stun grenades, and live ammunition at aid 
 distribution sites. Instead of funding a program complicit in these crimes, 
 we will urge Congress to restore funding to UNRWA, the primary humanitarian 
 agency serving Palestinians. \n\nWe will persist in holding our elected 
 officials accountable to U.S. and international law by demanding an end to 
 support for Israel’s ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of the 
 Palestinian people. We will call on the House Foreign Affairs Committee to 
 act on H.R. 3565, the Block the Bombs Act, introduced by Representative 
 Delia Ramirez.\n\nScripts, addresses, stamps, and postcards will be 
 provided.\n\n*** We’ve been hosting this pop-up since December 2023, and 
 we’re grateful for the ongoing support. To help cover costs, we’re 
 kindly asking for donations to purchase stamps and postcards. 
 Alternatively, feel free to bring your own stamps and postcards to 
 contribute.\n\nWe must not yield in our commitment to a liberated 
 Palestine. Write postcards with us; call Congress from home; join local 
 actions; sign petitions; contribute to mutual aid groups; support NGOs on 
 the ground; boycott Israel’s products and those of companies profiting 
 from the oppression of Palestinians (use apps like Boycat and NoThanks, as 
 well as the AFSC website Disoccupied.com, to guide your ethical consumer 
 choices). We’re in this together for the long haul to end Israel’s 
 illegal occupation of Palestinian Territories.\n\n
