Please join us. There is usually parking north of J Street, on G, H, and I Streets.

Second Saturday has turned into a great local street fair. It is fun and the crowds are usually interested in seeing and talking with us. You will also see other free speech activities, a conga line (usually there), vendors, and there is usually outdoor music. So in addition to speaking out for peace, you can entertain yourself as well. I hope to see you there.

International Campaign in Support of Palestinian Political Prisoners

The Free Palestine Alliance and Addameer are calling for days of action during the week of April 11 - 17 in support of Palestinian Political Prisoners.

Commemorate Palestinian Political Prisoners Day
April 17, 2010

We encourage all to organize local events to spread awareness on this critical issue by holding workshops, teach-ins, film screenings and various activities throughout the week.
On Saturday April 17, 2010, bring together community and allies to fly kites in support of the thousands of Palestinian political prisoners.

April 17, 2010 marks the 34th anniversary of Palestinian Political Prisoners Day. As this historic and important day approaches, several Palestinian organizations and solidarity partners feel it is a critical time, now more than ever, to shed light on the unsung and sometimes forgotten heroes of the ongoing struggle to liberate Palestine. There are a total of 7,300 Arab prisoners. Among them are 33 women and 300 children. 400 are from Jerusalem and the 1948 occupied Palestinian areas, 745 from Gaza Strip, and 6,155 from the West Bank.
