Thursday, June 26, 9 am to 5 pm Eastern Time

Rasmea Odeh goes on trial in Detroit on September 8, 2014.
 
Our first call-in effort two weeks ago had the U.S. Attorney’s office answering its phones non-stop all day, proof that Rasmea has massive community support.  Let’s keep the pressure on the prosecution!
 
Rasmea Odeh is a beloved leader and works tirelessly to serve and empower Palestinian, Arab American, and Muslim families in Chicago and across the country.
 
Rasmea is a community icon and recently won an “Outstanding Community Leader” award from the Chicago Cultural Alliance for her 40+ years of dedication and service.
 
Rasmea was tortured by the Israeli Military and convicted by an Israeli military kangaroo court 45 years ago. Her confession was forced by vicious physical and sexual torture. She never committed any crime, so the charges against her today are false and unjust.  These charges are a political attack on her, on her community, and on all anti-war and Palestine support activists.

Call in on June 26th and support Rasmea Odeh. Demand the charges be dropped!
