MARCH AGAINST THE WAR
Wednesday, April 3rd 2002
What exactly is happening behind the Kalandia checkpoint? We don't know. Friends report that in addition to the senseless killing, the widespread destruction, and the siege on Al-Mukataa and Yasser Arafat the recognized Palestinian leader, the Ramallah government hospital as well as other clinics are in desperate need of medical supplies. Palestinian women's groups have contacted us, relating that there is a huge shortage of basic foods. Ta'ayush together with Israeli Women's Groups and Physicians for Human Rights have decided to organize a March Against the War. We must end the cycle of violence by putting an end to the occupation; only then the horrific killing of civilians -- Arabs and Jews --will stop.
Other peace and human rights organizations have already joined and we call upon all other groups and individuals to participate. A list of groups who have already joined appears below, please let us know if you want us to add your group to the list.
This Is the Plan:
We will march in WHITE (as a symbol of peace and non-violence) from
A-Ram to Kalandia. Trucks of food and medical supplies destined for the
Palestinian Union of Medical Relief and women's organizations will accompany
the march which will be comprised of the coalition of organizations and
individuals.
