CALENDAR LISTING
GAZA FREEDOM MARCH FUNDRAISER
AN EVENING WITH MEDEA BENJAMIN TO HELP SEND CODEPINK TO GAZA ON A PEACE DELEGATION
WHEN: Monday, November 16, 2009 6pm
WHERE: Morac Restaurant and Lounge, 3122 16th St (at Valencia)
WHAT: You're
invited to join CODEPINK Women for Peace and Global Exchange for a
fundraising party to support humanitarian aid and Bay Area delegates
participating in the December 31 Gaza Freedom March—a massive
international effort to break the siege of Gaza. CODEPINK and Global
Exchange cofounder Medea Benjamin will share her experiences from
traveling to Gaza and the latest news about this historic march.
Can
you imagine a more important place to mark the end of 2009 than in
Gaza, marching hand in hand with Palestinians and people from all over
the world who are committed to peace, justice, human rights, ending the
siege of Gaza, and rebuilding the country devastated by the Israeli
attacks one year ago? We can't. The Gaza Freedom March delegation
will take place in Gaza Dec. 27-Jan. 2. On December 31, 2009 we will
mark the New Year by marching alongside the Palestinian people of Gaza
in a non-violent demonstration that breaches the illegal blockade. Already over 300 people from over 30 countries have signed up. They
include writers like Alice Walker, actors like Duraid Lahham, members
of Parliament from Europe and Asia, diplomats, interfaith leaders,
students, journalists and more. Will you help us make this march a success by giving a donation?
Tax-deductible
donations can be made payable to CODEPINK. If you can't make it to the
fundraiser, you can send a check to CODEPINK, 2010 Linden Avenue,
Venice, CA 90291. To make a donation online, to find out more about the march, or to sign up to join us in Gaza, please visit www.gazafreedommarch.org.
