PRESS CONFERENCE + RALLY 🚨
THURSDAY 8/21 3PM
OUTSIDE CBS PHILLY 1555 HAMILTON STREET

We are witnessing the depraved and horrifying genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza for almost two shameful years. As our government continues to be partners in genocide, western media has aided and abetted the genocide in their biased and dehumanizing coverage of Palestinians, regurgitation of Zionist lies, and inability to take a clear stand against the blatant disregard of international law and human life, including the lives of over 270 reporters in Gaza.

It is no surprise then that CBS is one of many western media institutions that fail to report truthfully about Palestine, including the deliberate assassinations of reporters in Gaza. Israel’s assasination of Anas al-Sharif and several other journalists from Al Jazeera has raised the total of journalists killed in Palestine to over 270. This targeted attack has killed all remaining Al Jazeera reporters in Gaza and showcases how far Israel is willing to go to suppress the truth and the extent of their war crimes. Targeting and killing journalists is a war crime and the number of Palestinian journalists killed has become far higher than those of WWI, WWII, the Korean War, the War in Vietnam, and the U.S. wars in Iraq combined.

We urge all people of conscience to stand with us at CBS Philadelphia’s headquarters Thursday 8/21 at 3PM, outside the very same building that also houses Day and Zimmerman- the fifth largest weapons maker in the U.S. and who also has the blood of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians on their hands. We will continue demanding an immediate end to the genocide and the U.S.’s unconditional support of it. We will continue to amplify the voices and messaging of the Palestinian people fighting to stay alive and defend themselves against genocide, colonial settlement, apartheid, and all the horrors birthed by Zionism.

Let journalism live! Free press- free Palestine!
