Halifax stands with Gaza: end the illegal seige!

3 pm: meet at the Pavilion in the Commons, 5816 Cogswell street, march down Robie

4 pm: meet at St. Andrews Church (Coburg Road and Robie), for a presentation by Ehab Lotayef, delegate to Gaza, reporting back on the Freedom March.

Why march for Gaza?

It has been one year since the Israeli attack on Gaza that killed over 1,400 Palestinians, including 431 children, and injured over 5,000.

“The International Coalition to End the Illegal Siege of Gaza” is a diverse coalition that represents all faiths (and no faith) and is focused on human rights in conformance with international law. To mark the one year anniversary, the coalition mobilized an international contingent for a non-violent Freedom March alongside the people of Gaza on Dec. 31st to end the illegal blockage.
