*Today was a historic day for the movement in solidarity with 
Palestine.* In dozens of cities and towns across the country, tens of 
thousands took to the streets to support the Palestinian people's just 
struggle for liberation with less than 24 hours notice.

While the government that speaks in our name signs the checks that pay 
for Israel's massacres, the impressive scale of these emergency actions 
made it clear that the people stand with Palestine. The ANSWER Coalition 
is proud to have joined with other organizations in helping to organize 
and initiate many of these actions. And this struggle is just beginning 
-- mobilizations are continuing nationwide

The unrelenting oppression, murder, torture and occupation carried out 
by the Israeli apartheid regime has precipitated a counter-offensive by 
Palestinian resistance forces. The Israeli war machine, and its 
attendant systems of oppression, are bought and paid for by U.S. 
imperialism. U.S. tax dollars fund the grinding oppression of the 
Palestinian people to the tune of $4 billion each year.

Many of the actions today were slandered and vilified by politicians who 
shamefully stand with the apartheid government in Israel. Protesters 
refused to be silenced and proudly took to the streets. We know that we 
are on the right side of history -- and those who stand with a racist 
regime that systematically and horrifically violates fundamental rights 
are on the wrong side.

The nationwide protests demanded the U.S. immediately end all aid to 
Israel. The actions also raised demands for the freedom of Palestinian 
political prisoners and an end to the blockade of Gaza. As Israel 
pledges to wage a war of annihilation and the Palestinian people remain 
steadfast in their determination to resist, this movement will continue 
to take to the streets until Palestine is free!
