November 2, 2023 • By 18MR Staff



POST EVENT: CALL YOUR REPS! with script

🍉🇵🇸 CEASEFIRE NOW 🇵🇸🍉
You marched in the streets. You shouted “CEASEFIRE NOW.” You’re here for a free Palestine.

Now, join @18millionrising, @rising_majority, @grassrootsasiansrising, @lavphoenix, @aroc_bayarea, and @seafnofficial this Tuesday Nov 7th at 12pm PST / 3pm EST to call on our Asian American representatives to: demand a ceasefire, the entry of humanitarian aid, and a stop to military funding to Israel!!

Loan Tran, @rising_majority’s National Director, will be closing our Power Hour. Loan is an immigrant from Viet Nam who currently calls North Carolina home. They consider themselves forged by the migrant justice movement.

It’s time to call OUR REPRESENTATIVES. We invite you to join us for this special Power Hour to make sure they know – NOT IN OUR NAME. Violence in Palestine continues to escalate while military funding for Israel seems to be unconditional. We demand our Asian American representatives to support CEASEFIRE NOW or next November, they’re out 👋

ASL and live captioning will be provided.
