10/18 American Jews Say Ceasefire Now! JVP & IfNotNow (in person, D.C.)

  • Capitol Plaza, Washington, DC (map)

Wednesday, October 18, 12:00 PM EDT - Capitol Hill, location TBA. Washington, DC

This is one of the most pivotal moments of our lives. The Israeli government is on the brink of genocide against Palestinians. It has never been more important for Jews and all people in the US to rise up with literally everything we have — the way that many of us would have wanted others to rise up for our ancestors.

In the past week, Israel has dropped more bombs on Gaza than the U.S. did in a year of war on Afghanistan. What we know from past Israeli state atrocities against Palestinians is that the bombs only stop once there is a sufficient mass outcry from the international community. It’s on us to build that outcry — as fast as we possibly can.

These are Jewish-led actions, sponsored by Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow. We welcome and encourage our non-Jewish allies to join us.
