IfNotNow Supporters hasn't added a story.
On Friday, March 17, seven leaders of IfNotNow were arrested while peacefully protesting at the Los Angeles office of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). IfNotNow is a movement led by young Jews to transform the American Jewish community's support for the occupation into a call for freedom and dignity for all. These brave fighters blockaded the lobby in AIPAC’s building – through body, voice and song – to communicate a clear statement: if you support 50 years of occupation, you do not represent the Jewish community. You do not represent our values.
Palestine Legal is an organization dedicated to defending those who stand up for Palestinian liberation. Tarek Shawky, a lawyer who is a member of both the Nation Lawyer's Guild and Palestine Legal, is providing legal defense for the seven arrested IfNotNow leaders. We want to make sure that defense is fairly and adequately compensated. This money will help pay Tarek and his organization for representation, fines, and other costs associated with being arrested for peacefully protesting against the violence and moral catastrophe of endless occupation in Israel and Palestine. The moral fortitude of these protestors, and those who defend them, is what we will need going forward to win this fight.
Check out ifnotnowmovement.org for more information about IfNotNow, and palestinelegal.org for more on Palestine Legal, and follow #ResistAIPAC and all the work we are doing to seek justice and liberation for Palestinians, Jews, and people everywhere.
