APRIL 20 CALL TO ACTION
BY FREE PALESTINE ALLIANCE
At this critical moment in the struggle of our people,
the Free Palestine Alliance-USA calls upon all those
who stand for justice and lberation to join us at the
White House in Washington, DC on Saturday, April 20,
2002, at 11 a.m., in a national mobilization in
support of the struggle of the Palestinian People as
we gear up for the protest against the war criminal
Sharon.
As we join thousands from across the nation who will
assemble at the White House on that day, we intend to
send a clear message that we hold the Bush
Administration responsible for the carnage carried out
against our steadfast people in heroic Janin, Nablus,
Bethlehem, Ramallah, Doura, Qalqilia, Tulkarem, Rafah,
Jabalia, and every town and camp in our beloved land.
Indeed, we call on all to stand shoulder to shoulder
with those who stand clearly and unconditionally with
our peoples stubborn quest for liberation. As we
assemble at the White House, we will join millions
across the world who have declared repeatedly that the
green light and political cover granted by the US
Administration is largely what allowed the war
criminal Sharon to launch his enocidal campaign on
the cities, town and refugee camps of Palestine.
At the White House, we will demand an immediate end to
all U.S. aid to Israel, as we render support to the
Palestinian People's right to self-determination.
At the White House, we will join the national
mobilization organized by the A.N.S.W.E.R. -Act Now to
Stop War and End Racism Coalition, which stands in
full support of the Palestinian people. Among the
keynote speakers will be two prominent Palestinian
student activists, Fadia Rafeedie of Yale University
and Randa Jamal of Columbia University.
The organizing for April 20th follows on the heels of
the very successful nationwide student mobilizations
on April 9th marking the 54th anniversary of the Deir
Yassin massacre. On campuses across the country,
students and community activists came out in
unprecedented numbers -- 1,500 at U.C. Berkeley, where
78 people were arrested in a building sit-in that
captured the attention of the US and much of the
world; and 1,000 students at San Francisco State, with
strong and significant protests on dozens of other
campuses. Our communitys mobilization is also but an
extension of our peoples stand from coast to coast
who stood with tens of thousands of supporters
rendering solidarity with the Palestinian People from
Washington, DC to Los Angeles, and from New York to
Chicago, and to San Francisco.
The April 20th demonstration will also provide a
significant push and preparation for the April 22th
protest against the war criminal Sharon, who isscheduled to speak along with George Bush that evening
at the annual convention of AIPAC-the American-Israel
Public Affairs Committee, at the Washington Hilton.
We call on all who stand in support of the Palestinian
people at this crucial juncture to join us at the
White House on April 20.
