Last week, we watched in horror as the Israeli military gunned down unarmed Palestinian protesters in Gaza participating in the Great Return March. At least 17 were killed and 1,400 injured, half of them by live ammunition.
In a rapidly-deleted tweet, the Israeli military said: "Nothing was carried out uncontrolled; everything was accurate and measured, and we know where every bullet landed."
This Friday, April 6 at noon, join us and our partners in Downtown Chicago's Federal Plaza (https://click.everyaction.com/k/995490/5638599/1685973972?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbj ovL3Zhbi9KVlAvSlZQLzEvNjE4ODEiLA0KICAiRGlzdHJpYnV0 aW9uVW5pcXVlSWQiOiAiNDBjY2QyMGUtM2UzOC1lODExLTgwYz ItMDAxNTVkYTc0MWU5IiwNCiAgIkVtYWlsQWRkcmVzcyI6ICJj a2FpaGF0c3VAZ21haWwuY29tIg0KfQ%3D%3D&hmac=WO1nEd02G5JMutoPV_RmXBCPfejyUmNXkA60MJSZEm0=) to commemorate the lives that were lost and demand that Illinois legislators strongly, clearly condemn these killings and shootings, which Human Rights Watch has deemed "calculated" and "unlawful" on the part of the Israeli government.
We will honor the lives taken by Israeli snipers, before sending a small delegation up to meet with the office of Senator Richard Durbin. As of this moment, together with our partners we are working on setting up a meeting with the office of Senator Tammy Duckworth.
Call both their offices before Friday to make sure that they know their constituents expect them to unequivocally condemn the killings:
Senator Richard Durbin: (202) 224-2152
Senator Tammy Duckworth: (202) 224-2854
Tell them: "As a constituent, I am calling to demand that Senator ______ join Senator Bernie Sanders in issuing a public statement condemning the Israeli military's killings of at least 18 unarmed Palestinian protesters last week."
COMING UP:
