Free Palestine Walk 2010!!

Join me in New Haven at 1 pm on October 9th- or find a town near you hosting AAPER's (American Association for Palestinian Equal Rights) 2010 Free Palestine Walk!

This is one of the best ways you can take action!! Lots of people wonder what they can do to help the Middle East situation which seems so far away, and here is the perfect opportunity.


From AAPER's webpage:

"The Free Palestine Walks are silent marches to take place in October on behalf of an equitable U.S. policy toward Palestine that advances freedom and equality for the Palestinian people.

The Free Palestine Walks have two major goals:

First, to raise awareness about the situation in Palestine among Americans who will take part in, sponsor and observe the walks, including your family members, friends, neighbors and community members.

And second, to raise funds for a powerful AAPER advertising campaign to be launched in the cities where the Walks took place.

Like AIDS Walks, Breast Cancer Walks, and Freedom Walks during the Civil Rights Movement, the Free Palestine Walks can have a major impact across the United States as we work to advance an equitable U.S. policy toward Palestine that finally advances freedom for the Palestinian people!"
