Solidarity with Freedom Flotilla Activistsl March and Rally 6/4 3:15pm

[annm4peace]

There are still Activists being imprisoned, and more boats trying to bring aid to GAZA.


When: Friday, June 4rd at 3:15pm

Where: Leaving AT 3:15 from the State Capitol steps in Saint Paul and marching to the Minnesota Trade Office (32 Minnesota Street, St. Paul)

On Tuesday, Minnesotans entered Senator Amy Klobuchar's office to
demand a political response to both the killings on the flotilla and
the inhumane blockade of Gaza.

This Friday, we will go to the MN trade office to demand an end to local economic relations between Minnesota and the State of Israel as part of a larger project of ending
all US financial sponsorship of the Israeli war economy.

The Minnesota Trade Office facilitates the relationship between Minnesota-based corporations and the State of Israel.

In 2008, Minnesota companies made over $10 million on goods exported to Israel.

The blockade of Gaza and the occupation of Palestine cannot be sustained without the military and financial support of the United States.

This year alone the US will give a total of $2.8 billion to the state of Israel.

The US also supports the occupation of Palestine through military aid in the form of technology, training, and weapons. In Minnesota, companies with Israeli contracts directly profit from the systematic violent assault on Palestinian life in the occupied territories.

Join us Friday to show that we will NOT tolerate the murder of
activists and the undue persecution of Gazans.

March on the Trade Office and demand NO MORE TRADE! TAKE DOWN THE BLOCKADE!
