Feb 5th – 11th USPCN, NAARPR, SDS Week of Action

The U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN), National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (NAARPR), and National Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) once again call for a week of action against the U.S./Israeli genocide in Gaza from February 5th to 11th.

The people of Palestine are fighting for their liberation and the people of Yemen are standing with them. The U.S. government is sending billions in military aid to Israel and shamelessly bombing Yemen. We will never be silent in the face of this atrocity. All of us who stand with Palestine and believe in liberation must continue to act steadfast. The genocide must be stopped by any means necessary and until Palestine is victorious!

We are calling on all community and student organizations to plan actions, rallies & disruptions across the country! Meanwhile, please tag us (@uspcn) whether your event is on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. Endorse the week of action using the link below.

California

Feb 4th Protest: No Grammy Celebrations During Genocide – Los Angeles, CA

Today, February 4th, let Los Angeles know that until we achieve our demands, we will continue to disrupt business as usual!

Bring your voices, posters, signs, and instruments; there can be no grammy celebrations during a genocide!

Join USPCN-SoCal and the LA4Palestine coalition as we demand supporting the unified Palestinian resistance, lifting the siege on Gaza now, ending U.S. complicity in genocide, backing off of Yemen, freeing all Palestinian political prisoners, and ending the occupation in Palestine!

Feb 6th Ban Authorized City Travel to Israel – San Jose, CA

Feb 10th Boycott Sadaf in Little Arabia – Anaheim, CA

Last month, USPCN-SoCal and over 100 allies successfully disrupted business as usual at Sadaf Foods distribution center. This was a major start to 2024 and for the BoycottSadaf Campaign!

Sadaf Foods was exposed for who they really are — supporters of Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people — and were forced to listen to the following demands. 1) Immediately stop all business transactions and association with zionists, 2) publicly apologize for its exploitation of stolen Palestinian land, and 3) support BDS and market their food products truthfully!

They refuse to abide by any of our demands and in fact cowardly continue to support Israel while pretending to be pro-Palestinian and Muslim-friendly. In response we are organizing a rally and protest at Harvest Fresh Market in Anaheim, CA. This location is also known as Little Arabia and home to one of the largest Arab populations in the country, so it is absolutely shameful that any stores there continue to shelve Sadaf.

There is no room for normalization with zionism, especially in the heart of our community. Please join us on Feb 10th to demand that our people stop buying Sadaf’s food!
