✊ Written by Palestinians in Rockland

📜 Read the Ceasefire Resolution: Understanding the terms is crucial to make informed decisions and understand the collective demand. This helps us grasp the gravity of the situation and effectively demand an end to the genocide.

📝Sign the Ceasefire Petition: The Nyack Board of Trustees requires enough signatures to consider placing the resolution on their agenda. Without it, our voices will be ignored, and the violence will continue.

📍 Village Hall, 9 N. Broadway, Nyack, NY 10960. In-person attendance is required for public comments.

🚫 **Say No to the “Anti-Hate” Resolution**: Our focus is on advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza and addressing the humanitarian crisis. Anti-hate resolutions distract from the urgency of the genocide. Our priority is to center Gaza and amplify the voices of those suffering there. Anything less than a ceasefire is a betrayal to the Thawabet.

🚨 THIS THURSDAY 🚨 The ceasefire resolution remains under consideration. You have an opportunity to help catalyze a meaningful change in the conversation surrounding Palestine in Rockland. Your actions can not only halt the tragic and indiscriminate violence against Palestinians locally but also diminish Nyack’s support for global imperialism.

🚨 THIS FLAG DAY IS FOR PALESTINE 🚨 Thanks to the overwhelming generosity, we have gathered enough donation to hand out flags for our upcoming Flag Day event in Nyack, NY. THIS FLAG DAY IS FOR PALESTINE 🇵🇸

Our mission is to paint the town in the colors of the Palestinian flag by encouraging residents to proudly display the flag on their porches. We will be distributing large flags to Nyack residents and small handheld flags. Let raise awareness that “the most liberal town” in rockland has YET to pass the ceasefire resolution. Instead, they’re worried about being re-elected again.

This Flag Day is dedicated to Palestine, in remembrance of the 40,000 children, fathers, mothers, sisters, and brothers who have been murdered at the hands of the Israeli Occupation/settlement with the toll continuing to rise. As Israel has destroyed every health agency in Gaza, making it impossible to determine the exact number of casualties.

Join us in this act of unity and support for Palestine.

📅 6/14
⏰ 5pm
📍 STARTING POINT:
9N Broadway, Nyack NY 10960

There will be a lot of walking so if you need any accommodations or support please feel free to DM. Please bring water or a fan to help you cool down! Its suppose to be gorgeous out

🚨ALL OUT TO DC🚨

June 8 marks eight months of US-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 can’t draw 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.
