Here are some actions by TwoADay.org and others in the week of Tuesday November 12:
ON TUESDAY NOVEMBER 12, please join our protest against the destruction of Gaza at 1pm on the Smith St side of the State House. American law bans sending weapons to countries that restrict humanitarian aid, but Israel is ignoring our government’s Nov 12 deadline to allow adequate aid into Gaza. Though Kamala Harris claimed she and Biden are “working around the clock” for a ceasefire, our government ended ceasefire negotiations before the election and told allies not to host negotiators. Our government has repeatedly sent more weapons to Israel, never taking its foot off the gas much as refugees are slaughtered. When politicians keep resisting the full-scale change that’s needed, we must speak up. As the Nov 12 deadline expires, TwoADay.org is protesting to help rouse opposition to our government’s support for the slaughter.
