Wednesday, October 18, 12:00 PM - Capital Hill (Location TBD) Washington, D.C.

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

“No electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals, and we act accordingly.” This promise, from Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, is a direct call for mass killing and forced removal of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes.

The Israeli military is preparing for a massive ground invasion of Gaza. Israeli and American leaders are dehumanizing Palestinians with vitriolic rhetoric that calls to mind the most hysterical days of Bush’s War on Terror. We know where this will lead: genocide.

President Biden and every American political leader must demand a ceasefire now.

Many of us are mourning our Israeli and Palestinian friends and loved ones. We are in pain and grief, trying to process a week of horrific violence that has left so many that we know injured, traumatized, kidnapped, or killed. But we refuse to let our grief be weaponized to justify the murder of more Palestinians. As American Jews, we demand a ceasefire now. No genocide in our name.

The time is now to mobilize to prevent this genocide from going forward. We demand that President Biden use his leverage to implement a ceasefire and use any possible tool to force Israel to halt its war on Palestinians in Gaza.

The severity of this moment cannot be overstated. We are all in to do everything we can to prevent a genocide in Gaza, and need your help to active our entire base.
