Event Announcement: National Mobilization – Surround the White House for Gaza
Date: June 8, 2024
Time: 12:00 PM
Location: Lafayette Park, 1600 H St NW, Washington, DC 20004, United States
Recently, the Israeli military carried out a horrific massacre in Rafah, bombing a refugee camp in a so-called “safe zone” and igniting a massive blaze that claimed at least 45 lives. Unless we act now this genocidal assault will only expand. To demand an end to Israel’s killing spree and raise our voice for a free Palestine, tens of thousands will surround the White House dressed in red, building a human red line around the White house on Saturday, June 8.
June 8 marks 8 months of Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people, and marks the 54th anniversary of the occupation of Gaza. A month ago, Biden said that the invasion of Rafah was a red line. But now, the invasion of Rafah has continued for weeks, has expanded to the entire Gaza Strip, Biden’s red line is nowhere to be seen. Instead of following through and stopping military aid to Israel, Biden has authorized billions more in weapons shipments to be used to kill and massacre Palestinians.
Biden hasn’t drawn the line, but we can. On June 8, we will come together from across the country and surround the White House. Wearing red, and raising our demands high, we will show the world that we are the red line. We demand an immediate ceasefire, an immediate end to the siege on Gaza, the freedom of all Palestinian prisoners, and an end to the occupation of Palestine.
Stop the Genocide! We are the Red Line! Free Palestine!
