Dear Friend,
On June 10-11, the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation and United for Peace and Justice are sponsoring a two-day mobilization in Washington, DC to protest US support for 40 years of Israeli military occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip. A rally on the Mall on June 10 will be followed by a lobbying day on June 11.
The Washington Interfaith Alliance for Middle East Peace has endorsed this mobilization and its political demands, along with nearly 200 other organizations so far. We hope that you will plan now to attend this landmark event – we look to a turnout of thousands to send a clear message: The World Says NO to Israeli Occupation. Please save the dates and spread the word.
We are hoping that your organization will consider endorsement as well. The political demands of the protest are:
* An end to US military, economic, diplomatic, and corporate support for Israel’s illegal military occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem.
* A change in US policy to one that supports a just peace between Palestinians and Israelis based on equality, human rights and international law, and the full implementation of all relevant UN resolutions.
To sign on as an endorsing organization, go to www.endtheoccupation.org.
Leading up to the mobilization, supporters are conducting an organizing drive, the goal of which is to collect 100,000 signatures from around the country supporting the political demands of the protest. The signatures will be presented to Members of Congress during the grassroots lobbying day on June 11.
Endorsing organizations will receive a packet of postcards and petition pages that you and your group can use to organize in your community. The postcards and petitions can be sent back one at a time or all at once to: The US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, P.O. Box 21539, Washington, DC, 20009. Individuals can also sign the petition at www.endtheoccupation.org.
If you or members of your organization would also like to include a donation to the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation that would be most appreciated although not a requirement for endorsement.
Thank you for spreading the word and helping us organize for this mobilization.
In solidarity,
Dr. John Salzberg and Rev. Susan P. Wilder
