300+ Days of Genocide: Rally at Westlake Park
2024-08-03 13:00 - 15:00 | Westlake Park, 401 Pine St., Seattle, WA, 98101
This week will mark 300 days since the beginning of Israel’s genocidal onslaught on Gaza. Throughout these 300 days, a projected 186,000+ Palestinians have been murdered by the Zionist entity, the bombardment of the Gaza Strip has led to its complete destruction, and thousands of Palestinians have been imprisoned or disappeared – in addition to the thousands already held in the illegitimate occupation jails.
The US government has shown that its commitment is to supporting Israel carry out a genocide. We the people must come out and show that our commitment is to the Palestinian struggle and is only getting stronger, and that our fight for a free Palestine will never waver. Bring friends, comrades, signs, love for our martyrs, and above all – bring your readiness to keep fighting and carry our struggle forward.
None of us are free until we are all free. This genocide must come to an end, and Palestine must be liberated!

Why is the current administration bankrolling the brutal murder of thousands of people alongside metric tons of CO2 emissions daily, while ignoring their constituents?

Shoes for Sidra with Families for Ceasefire
2024-10-05 10:30 - 11:30 | Maritime Heritage Park, 500 W Holly St, Bellingham, WA, 98225
**Updated Post!! ** Join us on October 5th for a solidarity event to mourn the brutal loss of Palestinian children at the hands of the US-funded Israeli military.

📆📍Shoes for Sidra – Saturday, October 5 at 10:30 am, Maritime Heritage Park
Shoe donation drop site: Downtown @thirdplanetboutique and Fairhaven @cafebluefairhaven
Shoes For Sidra is a community art installation dedicated to Sidra Hassouna, a 7-year-old Palestinian girl, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike that tore off both her legs and left her body hanging from a destroyed house. Sidra is but one of the countless children who have been killed by the U.S.-funded Israeli genocide.
We signify our grief and solidarity with a simple act of laying out shoes—as many as we can gather—to try to convey the loss and unimaginable scale of the injustice. We invite passersby to contribute a pair of shoes, and write the name of a person that has been stolen from us. We invite you to walk the labyrinth and connect with any feelings that arise.
Sidra left this earth without legs and feet. She and many children like her no longer need shoes. We as a global community have failed to protect them, and it is our responsibility to share their stories and honor their lives.
Shoes for Sidra is an all-ages event with speakers and kid-appropriate programming. This event is inspired and supported by @families4ceasefiresea – we are humbled by the regional network of grassroots pro-Palestinian organizations that continues to strengthen.
