BREAKING: Months of organizing result in a victorious vote for a ceasefire in Chicago! Chicago is the largest U.S. city to vote in favor of a ceasefire resolution
What We Want
1. An Immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
We demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Over 21,000+ Palestinians have been killed, 70% were women and children since October 7th. With 54,000+ injured, and approximately 1.8 million displaced in the last 3 months, the indiscriminate targeting of civilians by Israel must stop.
2. Stop the unconditional US funding of Israel’s genocide against Gaza and the occupation of Palestine.
It is abundantly clear that Israel’s genocide in Gaza is funded and supported by the United States. The hundreds of millions of dollars in ammunition transfers since October 7th, the back-and-forth shuttling of top-level US officials to Israel, the positioning of American aircraft carriers and the use of mercenaries has all been facilitated by the United States to bolster Israel’s murderous rampage in Gaza. We also firmly oppose current proposals in Congress to send an additional 14.3 billion dollars worth of weapons to Israel while it massacres Palestinian children daily. We demand an immediate and complete end to all US weapons transfers to Israel.
3. Hold Israel accountable for war crimes committed against the Palestinian people and their continuous violations of international law.
Israeli leaders have been very explicit in their intent to commit genocide in Gaza. Top ranked officials such as Netanyahu to lower rank government officials such as Galit Atbaryan have all called for the erasure of Gaza and the elimination of the Palestinian people. We call on the International Criminal Court to investigate and charge Israeli leaders with crimes against humanity for their intent and committal of well-documented atrocities against the people of Gaza and Gaza’s civilian infrastructure such as homes, schools, hospitals, mosques/churches, universities, roads, water and power infrastructure.
We also call on the US government to end their participation and complicity in Israel’s crimes against humanity and demand full and swift accountability for US and Israeli officials involved in this genocide.

MEDIA ALERT: Washington DC to host the largest mobilization in support of Palestine in US history
When: 1:00 pm, Saturday, November 4, 2023
Where: Freedom Plaza, Washington D.C.
Washington DC, November 3, 2023 – The US capital is gearing up for the largest mobilization in support of Palestine in the country’s history. Tens of thousands of activists are boarding buses from cities as far as Chicago, Houston, and Tampa to participate in the historic march.
Over 9,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in its intense bombing campaign of the Gaza strip. According to a report released today by the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, Israel has used 25,000 tons of explosives on Gaza since October 7, equivalent to two nuclear bombs. This has continued unrelenting despite calls from world leaders and millions of people across the world for an end to this genocidal violence.
The hundreds of thousands converging in Washington DC will join people from across the globe to demand an immediate ceasefire, an end to all US aid to Israel, and an end to the over 16-year siege on Gaza.
