Gathering and Webinar: Violations of International Humanitarian Law
2023-11-02 18:30 - 20:00 | WA
On Thursday 11/2 we will join with @bayanseattle @samidounseattle and allies to hold a gathering (and webinar) from 6:30-8:00 PST discussing these violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), especially urgent as we have now lost contact with those on the ground in Gaza.
✉️ We are calling for sign-on support to a letter from Labor for Palestine to cease the genocide in Gaza now, as well as a letter to US Congress denouncing the extrajudicial killing of Jude Fernandez (both sign-ons are linked in event registration).
The 11/2 gathering will be held at MPOP x CID Coalition Worker Center, with remote webinar access also available; registration and letter sign-on info available here: tinyurl.com/humanrightsunderattack

On October 3rd, Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) released an urgent update on the brutal killing of Jude Fernandez, a Filipino labor leader who spent his time organizing workers to campaign for higher wages and better working conditions. Jude Fernandez started labor organizing during the era of Martial Law under Marcos Sr. and had continued the work until now.
The Philippine National Police (PNP) who perpetrated the murder, claimed that Jude attempted to fight back in an attempt to justify the killing, despite him being an unarmed unionist. This is the 72nd labor-related killing in the Philippines since 2016 and the fourth within this year of 2023, by paramilitary units funded by the United States. We view these attacks as not just against one person, but the whole of the Philippine labor movement, and of the international labor movement.
US funding and support for attacks against the people is not isolated to the Philippines, as we have continued to see with the most recent bombings on the Palestinian people. The Biden administration has continued to express support for the apartheid state of Israel, despite their campaign of genocide against civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, dropping 6,000 bombs between October 7th and October 12th, the use of White Phosphorous bombs against populated areas, as well as en masse “terror-tagging” and continued bombings of civilians and evacuation routes.

On top of our signature free catered meals, free entertainment , healing services, and conscious community building work; this month we will have a few more offerings that may support us in living out our desires to be in solidarity.
There will be education spaces to learn more about the talking points and how to advocate, there will be a collective space for grief , there will be cultural performances and celebrations of Palestinian culture, sign creation, and opportunities to create self care kits for the core Palestinian organizers doing the important work here in seattle.
If you’d like to contribute to the self care kits, please bring items for between 15-30 people so we can construct the kits. Also reach out to us if you’d like to offer up any food , resources , or energy.

Fast for Gaza
2024-01-04 | WA
Fast for Gaza
December 21, 2023: Sunrise to Sunset
Continuing every Thursday until a permanent ceasefire is called

We have had enough.
This is a call to fast.
Because we have had enough.
As Gaza is devastated by

The loss of countless lives
The destruction of homes, schools, hospitals, archives, mosques, churches, and all allegedly safe spaces
The blockade of humanitarian aid, food, water, electricity, and communication
The silencing of voices on the ground and around the world

We are witnessing an unfolding catastrophe in real time. The toll is indescribable, incalculable, and indefensible.
Fast for Gaza extends a global invitation to people of all faiths, and those who adhere to none, to abstain from food for one day in solidarity with the people of Gaza, and to break the fast together at sunset. The fast will continue every Thursday until a permanent ceasefire is called.
While you fast:

Donate to humanitarian efforts in Gaza.
Refrain from spending on non-essential goods
Spread the word that we have had enough.
Write to government and business leaders demanding they recognize this tragedy and support an immediate and permanent ceasefire.
Educate yourself on BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction), and join the boycott of goods that exploit and oppress Palestininians.
Educate yourself on and join PACBI (Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel).
Read and share art, writing, films, and music by Gazan artists.
Be in community with others who need, want, feel a conversation isn’t enough.
Make Gaza present.

The Fast for Gaza campaign is organized and sponsored by Mizna, RAWI (Radius of Arab American Writers), W.A.W.O.G. (Writers Against the War on Gaza), Action for Hope, University of Minnesota Palestine Studies Working Group, Palestine Writes, and the Arete Foundation for Arts and Culture.
Individuals and organizations interested in joining Fast for Gaza can view and download our media kit and sign up here.
