Chicago & Palestine: Money for the Poor, NOT for War!
October 16, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Mass meeting. While nearly 69,000 Chicagoans are homeless and 600,000 say they’re cost or rent burdened, our government has decided to use our tax money to fund Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. Chicago alone gives 40 million dollars per year directly to the Israeli military. Now Israel threatens to drag the region, and the world into total war — fully supported by both the Democrats and Republicans.
The liberation of the Palestinian people — who have bravely resisted genocide for over a year — is directly tied to our suffering here. Instead of funding war, the people need money now for housing, jobs, and healthcare.
Join us for a discussion on one year of resistance in Palestine, why we need a bold antiwar movement in Chicago built with all of our creativity and courage to stop endless war and military spending, and a people’s agenda that demands a right to housing, healthcare, jobs and all that we create with our labor.
