Protest Outside Pelosi's Office!

by Repost
We must carry on Rachel Corrie's mission and honor the ultimate sacrifice that she made for the noble cause of justice and freedom for the Palestinian people.
American Citizens and Others Say:

"Stop U. S. support of apartheid Israel now!"

with HUGE full-color banners of Rachel Corrie,
who was bulldozed to death by an Israeli soldier

The demonstration will take place on Monday, June 16th
in front of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi's office,
450 Golden Gate Ave. between Van Ness and Larkin, at noon.

As part of a nationwide campaign to bring attention to the atrocities that US tax dollars are supporting in apartheid Israel, we will demonstrate on the 16th of every month, which is the anniversary date of the martyrdom of Rachel Corrie, the 23 year old American peace activist who was bulldozed to death by an Israeli soldier while she tried to prevent another Palestinian home from being demolished.

Every month we will demonstrate in front of various politicians' offices on a rotating basis. Our first demonstration will be in front of the office of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, who has adamantly stated on many occasions her unconditional support for Israel, completely ignoring the ethnic cleansing campaign that Israel has been conducting for decades against the non-Jewish Palestinians to militarily maintain a Jewish supremacist state, not the true secular democratic state it claims to be.

We believe Israel's racist government must be dismantled and transformed into a true secular democracy with equal rights for all in a one-state solution of Palestine-Israel, with equal rights for all regardless of religion, ethnicity, race or sex, including for all the Palestinian refugees who must be allowed their right to return to their ancestral homeland of Palestine-Israel, as it is their right according to UN Resolutions, International Law and world opinion. We believe there must be no double standards for Israel and Zionists.

We believe that the US government should completely reverse its current policy towards Israel and pressure Israel with boycotts, sanctions, and every other means the UN would allow to transform its government into a true secular democracy with equal rights for all regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or sex. Also all the Palestinian refugees must be allowed to return and enjoy equal rights, and receive reparations for past loss and suffering.
