Are there any protests/stunts planned in the Indy area related to the recent escalation in Israel/Palestine?

Looking for demands along the lines of immediate ceasefire, restoration of services, protection of civilian BY ALL PARTIES, leveraging US aid to make it happen.

    Why would they care about what some Americans say in Indiana? Don’t think China cared about what people were saying at Berkeley about Tibet.

      I agree with your general sense of futility, but the idea would be that the US provides aid and security cooperation to Israel. The hope would be that we either a) convince the US government to leverage that aid to force Israel to protect civilians, or b) we contribute in some small way to building consensus in favor of peace in the future.

      So it would be like if the guns and trucks used by China in Tibet were paid for by the United States.

    Party for Socialism and Liberation works with ANSWER and Indy10 on enough stuff that if they aren’t doing the protest themselves, they know who is.

      Thanks @generallyCobalt! Just checked back here. I’ve found that Indy SURJ is the easiest way to keep up with that crowd. They have no-nonsense emails about what’s scheduled.
