A Call to Action:
National Mobilization Against the Butcher Sharon
April 22, 2002 - Washington, DC
The Free Palestine Alliance, USA calls on all people to join in a national mobilization in Washington, DC, on April 22, against the Butcher of Qibya, Sabra and Shatila, and the commanding general of the ongoing mass-murder of Palestinian children, Ariel Sharon.
Sharon, the embodiment of brutal Zionist aggression, together with George Bush, are scheduled to address the strongest of the Zionist organizations in the US, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), in an attempt to further the policy of systematic repression and subjugation that has collectively brutalized and ravished every Palestinian town, village and refugee camp.
The Free Palestine Alliance, USA calls on all to reject outright this War Criminal, and demand an end to the US's continuing complicity in the escalating projects to liquidate the Palestinian People and terminate their march to freedom.
We further call on the coalitions convening for the April 20 Anti-War National Mobilization to take a firm stand against any US support to Israel, and to render clear and loud solidarity with the Palestinian People as they struggle for freedom and justice. We further call on all organizations and individuals who may not be able to join the National March and Rally in Washington, DC to organize on the same day events, teach-ins, protests, etc. across the nation, to expose the criminal character of Sharon and his associated polity.
Join us
Onward to Freedom and Justice
The Free Palestine Alliance, USA
1-800-465-1519 ext. 8500The Free Palestine Alliance (FPA), USA was formed in recognition of the natural responsibilities of the Palestinian Arab community in the US towards the struggle of the Palestinian People to end colonial control and racial subjugation. As a non-sectarian national organization with a presence in multiple states, the FPA is reaching out to our Palestinian and Arab family in the United States, to shun the remnants of division, lock arms, stand proud shoulder -to- shoulder, unified in the call to freedom, and humbled by the sacrifice of our children, to declare ourselves a humane bridge of hope for the future.
The ALL PEOPLES CONGRESS is urging everyone who is able to take of work or school to join the Aril 22 on Monday to protest against Ariel Sharon who will be in Washington D.C.
We will be having buses from Baltimore.
