Emergency Demo to support Gaza Freedom March - Dec. 31

Emergency Demonstration:
Thursday Dec 31, 1 pm

Protest Egypt's refusal to allow Gaza Freedom March to enter Gaza

EGYPTIAN MISSION TO THE UN:
304 East 44th St. (btwn 1st & 2nd Ave)

The government of Egypt continues to deny international activists from the Gaza Freedom March and also from Viva Palestina's humanitarian aid convoy access to the Gaza Strip. This clearly demonstrates the Egyptian Government's complicity with Israel in maintaining the illegal and devastating blockade of the Gaza Strip.
Marking the one-year anniversary of the December 2008 Israeli invasion that left more than 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis dead, the Gaza Freedom March is a grassroots global response to the inaction on the part of world leaders and institutions. 12 Brooklynites, including 2 BFP members, are in Cairo with the Gaza Freedom March.
Tell Egypt to open its border with the Gaza Strip, let people and goods in and out!
