“I want to urge you all, just as I also urge myself, not to turn away, not to give in to despair or fatigue. To keep protesting, to keep speaking out, to keep demanding an end to this horrifying war: it is the least that we can do.” - Sally Rooney

Join us in our weekly rally to raise awareness in our community and come together after the year of absolute horror we have been a witness to. Israel has killed hundreds of people in Lebanon and continues to bomb Gaza - including people sheltering in tents and schools. There are no consequences for their actions as they bomb indiscriminately and murder thousands and thousands of people. Instead Israel is given billions by the US government to expand the genocide into a regional war of aggression to attain “Greater Israel” and potentially leading to WWIII.

Meanwhile in the United States, a Black man named Marcellus Williams was executed in Missouri, despite evidence proving his innocence. The system of mass incarceration, the death penalty, and systemic racism is directly related to the violence inflicted on all Black and Brown bodies in this country and around the world.
