Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
- Martin Luther King Jr.
While we may not be able to go to Gaza and directly take action to help, we are Americans and our own government is putting this blood in our hands!!! We give $3 billion annually directly and a total of $6 billion of our tax dollars annually if you count all forms of aid to the government of Israel!!!
What we can do is taken action here at home! There will be two protests this weekend - Saturday and Sunday both at noon to afternoon in front of the Federal Building in Westwood.
