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!

Letter Writing to Palestinian Prisoners
2024-08-11 12:00 - 15:00 | Cal Anderson Park, 1635 11th Ave., Seattle, WA, 98122, United States
Join us at Cal Anderson Park near the Farmer’s Market 12pm – 3pm (drop in any time) to write letters to Palestinian prisoners incarcerated by the Zionist occupation. Given META repression of the Palestine movement and Samidoun, our Instagram and FB accounts have been taken down. Spread the word for this event and follow us on Telegram!
In response to the call to make August 3rd, the 300th day of the ongoing siege on Gaza, International Day of Action for Gaza and the Prisoners, we hope to come together in solidarity with the prisoners’ struggle. Zionist prisons are known for torture, starvation, and abuse, and used by occupation forces in futile attempts to break the Palestinian spirit and the resistance, but the Palestinian Prisoners’ Movement remains on the frontline of the liberation struggle.
No experience needed – bring yourself, friends, comrades, and your belief that we will soon win a Free Palestine.
Long live the Palestinian Resistance and Free Palestine!

Not Another Bomb: Rally
2024-08-18 12:00 - 14:00 | Cal Anderson Park, 1635 11th Ave., Seattle, WA, 98122, United States
Why is the current administration bankrolling the brutal murder of thousands of people alongside metric tons of CO2 emissions daily, while ignoring their constituents? Why does our government have trillions to send Israel weapons to bomb schools, while everyday Americans are left without adequate funding for housing, education or other basic needs?
Join us one day ahead of the Democratic National Convention to tell the Harris administration #NotAnotherBomb
It’s time to enact an arms embargo.

Mask Off Maersk Teach-In
2024-09-14 16:00 - 18:00 | Cafe Red, 7148 Martin Luther King Jr Way S, Seattle, WA, 98118
What: Join us in the next phase in our fight to end this genocide and enact a people’s arms embargo! Logistics companies, with Maersk as the industry lead, are the invisible profiteers of the current genocide in Gaza… Behind the horrific images and videos we have seen daily for almost ten months are corporations like Maersk who enable genocide to happen. Behind the grotesque statements of demonic politicians justifying ethnic cleansing are the companies like Maersk who profit from it. It is time to pull the #MaskOffMaersk and show the world who they really are! More info @palestinianyouthmovement

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.
