On March 2nd, millions across the globe will unite in a global day of protest, raising their voices against the Israeli government's actions in Gaza. As we stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine, it's crucial for Californians to join the movement and demonstrate their support for a lasting ceasefire and an end to the siege on Gaza.
Gaza is currently facing an alarming humanitarian crisis. The region is on the brink of famine, hospitals are besieged, and the threat of a full-scale ground invasion in Rafah looms large. With over 2 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, urgent action is needed to address the ongoing onslaught by Israel. Just today, the world witnessed how a crowd of desperately hungry people trying to get food for their starving families, were attacked by the I.D.F and as a result, dozens died from overcrowding, and trampling . Medical staff receiving patients report injuries and deaths caused by gunfire and artillery, not a stampede
