Shop-in at Rainbow a Success!

When I got there, around 1pm, there was a large crowd of both supporters and zionists, but it looked to be mostly supporters - they were wearing stickers, some saying 'Shopper for a free Palestine.' and t-shirts, or holding signs, etc. ISM people were there, GX, and Sustain, etc. The typical situation of a number of small and never-ending duscussions were going on, arguing who was on who's land first. News cameras were running and the store was packed. Having the stickers was so nice because we could all look to each other and know we had come to the right place.

I decided it would be a good day to get the 25 lb. bag of rice that we'll soon be needing, plus vegan turnovers, of course.

And thanks to KPFA for broadcasting the news of buy-in. No one from either side would agree to give a statement.

The buy-in will be going on all day - please show your support and shop today!
