We, the Palestinian Youth Movement, along with @nationalsjp, @answercoalition, @peoplesforumnyc, and @peoples.assembly, are calling on movements, trade unions, youth, students, media, healthcare workers, and all members of society to demand an immediate ceasefire, cutting all aid to the Zionist project, and lifting the siege on Gaza NOW!NOW is the moment in history for the world to take action against the genocide of Palestinians and stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people towards our path to liberation. Continue building momentum and increase pressure by joining the national shutdown for Palestine on Thursday, November 9th. Take direct action through walk-outs, sit-ins, speak-outs, and all forms of protest directed at the Zionist institutions which fund, invest, and collaborate with Israel’s genocide and occupation of Palestinians.NO BUSINESS AS USUAL UNTIL PALESTINE IS FREE
