4pm (Robeson Room) - In the aftermath of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla massacre and world-wide scrutiny of Israel’s attack on and continued siege of Gaza, Israel has mounted a public relations campaign to whitewash the facts. Yet, Gaza is still under siege, an open-air prison backed by the U.S. government. This fall, joining a flotilla of ships from around the world, Americans are launching a U.S. boat to Gaza. http://ustogaza.org/ In order to succeed, we in Northern Virginia must do our part. Let’s help make this historic moment The Audacity of Hope, a reality. Let’s together help end the collective punishment of 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza. Join Northern Virginians for Peace and Justice for an early evening of solidarity, inspiration, and entertainment (http://www.nvpj.org/). Open to all.
