The US Palestinian Community Network (USPCN) Coordinating Committee wishes you, your family and all of our community good health and happiness during this holiday season. This holiday also comes as a reminder that one year ago, our brothers and sisters in Gaza were subject to one of the most horrific onslaughts on Palestine in our history, and we hope that you participate in the numerous activities taking place – rallies, marches, vigils, and other events that commemorate the war on Gaza, demand that the blockade be lifted, and call for justice, freedom and return for Palestine and its people.
We hope that the new year brings with it progress in the pursuit of justice, yet know that the only way to predict the future is to be part of planning for it.
See you in San Francisco, January 15-17!
