Jan 13 River Valley to DC for Gaza
On Jan 13, the people of the United States will be coming together in a truly massive demonstration in the nation’s capital to deliver a message that Joe Biden will not be able to ignore.
Two months ago, on November 4, 2023, hundreds of thousands of people showed up to march to the White House and demand an end to the US-Israeli genocide of Gaza. That rally, the largest pro-Palestine rally in US history, demonstrated that the days of the Israeli occupation, apartheid and genocide are numbered and cannot last in the face of the steadfastness of the Palestinian resistance movement and the strength of the global Palestine solidarity movement.
Now, after two more months of organizing and mobilizing against the US-Israeli genocide, we will return to Washington DC. On January 13, 2024, we will deliver a powerful message to Joe Biden: “When you speak in our name and use our tax dollars to support genocide you do so without the consent of the people. We pledge that we will organize and mobilize today and every day until the genocide that you support ends and until apartheid and occupation end once and for all.” For more information about the demonstration click here.
Over one hundred people from River Valley will ride together in buses down to D.C in an entirely volunteer-funded effort to participate. We will be departing at midnight on the night of January 12th. Buses will depart from Amherst, Northampton, and Springfield. After the march in DC, we will board the buses at 8pm on Saturday, January 13th in order to arrive back in River Valley on Sunday morning.
