A National March in DC for Gaza:
Get your bus ticket today for
the National March for Gaza!

The ANSWER Coalition

(January 3, 2024) — On Saturday, January 13, huge numbers of people will gather from all across the country in Washington, D.C. for the National March for Gaza. The Biden administration is a full participant in the genocide against the Palestinian people, supplying the bombs and bullets used to murder hundreds every day. We need to raise our voices for a free Palestine!

The ANSWER Coalition is the National Partner for this mass action initiated by the American Muslim Task Force for Palestine. Join us as we demand an immediate ceasefire, an end to all US aid to Israel, and that US and Israeli officials responsible for war crimes be held accountable.

ACTION: You can contribute to the success of this action by making an urgently-needed donation today to help cover the cost of buses that the ANSWER Coalition is renting to bring young activists to Washington for the march.
