note: this event is outside of the regions this calendar normally covers (usually the DC area or Richmond VA is the furthest south for events listed here). However, this is protesting the “Presidential” Debate. So, if you have friends or family in Atlanta, please share with them. thanks, afp.
NEW LOCATION! ATL FOR PALESTINE! 🇵🇸🕊️✊
Biden and Trump arrive on Thursday, and the city is shutting down streets and setting up roadblocks on the highway to welcome the two most unpopular candidates in history for their first presidential debate on June 27th.
We will not be silenced. While both Biden and Trump re-affirm their support for the ongoing genocide in Palestine, working people in Atlanta are standing up and fighting back. Join us in midtown (Atlanta) at the intersection of Spring and 10th Streets NW at 7 p.m. the night of the debate to make our voices heard: FREE PALESTINE! Ceasefire Now! End US Aid to Israel! No Money for Massacres!
Israel’s genocidal war in Palestine has killed over 35,000 people, the majority of whom are women and children, and displaced nearly 2 million Palestinians from their homes in Gaza. The President has the power to force the Israeli government to stop because the US government is sending them billions of dollars in military aid to help them carry out their genocide. We demand that the President withdraw US support for Israel, establish an immediate ceasefire, and ensure true peace, justice, and self-determination for the Palestinian people!
Our new rally location is just two blocks away from Midtown MARTA station, and there is plenty of parking available all throughout midtown. Make sure to bring water, a charged phone, palestine flags and protest signs, and plenty of friends! Let’s turn out and show the President that Atlanta stands with Palestine!
