United We Stand-Hand in Hand-Over the Mighty River Lee

We will be forming a human chain across Patrick's Bridge as an act of Solidarity with the people of Palestine. The current situation in Gaza is terrifying and we need to send a clear message to the world that we will not sit back and allow this genocide to happen. UNITED WE STAND!

Please join us and bring a friend. If you have any Palestinian flags/banners/posters/placards/leaflets please bring them as well.
The lack of information and misinformation is horrifying and destructive. The only way to combat it is to share accurate information!

December 27th marked the 1st anniversary of the attack on Gaza by Israel, which left over 1,400 people dead and over 5,000 injured. The situation in Gaza is as bad today as it was the day the bombs stopped falling last January. The Gaza Strip is still sealed; homes, businesses, hospitals, schools and mosques still lie in rubble; and fundamental supplies are in severe shortage, as Israel continues to restrict the entry of basic goods such as fuel, medical equipment, oxygen, baby formula, paper, books, and construction materials. People are gathering around the world in solidarity for the people of Palestine, and a powerful month of remembrance has begun.
