Sign up here for the Palestine Solidarity Walking Tour + Protest, starting at 12pm on May 17 at Farragut Square. We will explore sites connected to US imperialism, corporate greed, and the ongoing genocide against Palestinians. The walking tour will be led by MDC DSA’s Internationalism Working Group with partnership from Jewish Voice for Peace-DC Metro, Palestinian Youth Movement-DMV, PSL DC, and more. The sites will cover the links between dark money and political repression, oil and Israeli apartheid. The Walking Tour and Protest will connect attendees to organizing efforts in the DMV to support boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel and to end the genocide. This event is part of DSA's nationwide Nakba Week of Action. As Israel and the U.S. continue to ethnically cleanse Gaza and provoke an entire regional war and Trump’s administration escalates repression against solidarity work at home, it is more important than ever that we build sustainable, mass campaigns against strategic targets. The theme for this week of action is "Palestine will live forever," following the lead of Palestinians, especially in Gaza, who remain steadfast in their struggle for liberation.
Note: this walking tour will include protest efforts along the route. We will engage in low-risk chanting at the end of each stop. This walking tour and protest will have marshals assessing the situation and any risks.
The tour will visit 3 to 4 sites around downtown DC. We will meet at 12:00PM at Farragut Square and adjourn by 3:00PM with about ~ 1.0 miles of walking . We encourage participants to attend the Arab American festival at Dew Drop Inn starting at 4pm. We will provide snacks and water on the tour. The walking tour + protest is hosted by Metro DC DSA’s Internationalism and Political Education Working Groups.
