Dear all friends and supporters of Palestine,
Join us today, Friday, January 12 and come ALL OUT FOR PALESTINE and ALL OUT FOR YEMEN. Today, the US and UK launched a series of attacks against the people and nation of Yemen, with the support of Canada in addition to Australia, Bahrain and the Netherlands. This is an attempt to stifle with bombs and weaponry the Yemeni people's powerful support for Palestine, which has shut down Zionist shipping in the Red Sea to bring an end to the genocide in Gaza.
The Yemeni people are standing up and refusing to back down to the bombs and drones of these imperialist powers, just as the Palestinian people in Gaza are refusing to back down. It's critical that we are all out tomorrow to be seen and heard for Palestine, for Yemen, and for all people around the world struggling for liberation. Join the Car Rally at 5:30 pm at Trout Lake Park (Victoria and 15th). Bring your Yemeni flags and signs for Yemen as well as your Palestinian flags and signs (and your own creative expression, flags and banners of all kinds!)
