The People's Forum and other organizations held the rally and march "We charge you with genocide" in Manahatta, Lenapehoking (Manhattan, New York City) on Saturday, January 27, 2024.
The rally was at Union Square. After the rally, people marched to Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Protestors went to 1 Police Plaza to do jail support.
"WE CONDEMN THE NYPD’S INTIMIDATION TACTICS AND UNJUST ARRESTS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR A FREE PALESTINE!
In another outrageous attack on free speech rights, NYPD officers made seven arrests during a march today protesting the genocide in Gaza, including recognizable leaders of the action and organizers from the Palestinian Youth Movement, Party for Socialism and Liberation, and The People’s Forum. The march was organized by the Shut It Down for Palestine movement. Another innocent protester, a Black man, was arrested after being singled out by a violent Zionist agitator who entered the crowd and began to throw himself at people. The police also confiscated the sound system being used in the protest.
The police attack on this march is part of a pattern of repression that has been intensifying in the last week against several organizations, and indicates a high-level decision made in the ranks of the NYPD and city political establishment to crack down on free speech. Yesterday, a protest organized by Within Our Lifetime was attacked and groundless arrests were made. Last week, a protest organized by the Shut It Down for Palestine movement was also the target of police action that resulted in 10 baseless arrests.
Despite the efforts of powerful politicians and police officials to demonize pro-Palestine activism, the majority of New Yorkers and the majority of people in this country oppose Israel’s genocide and support a ceasefire. This movement will not be stopped – we will continue to take to the streets and exercise our basic rights. The struggle will go on until Palestine is free!"_The People's Forum INFO: www.instagram.com/p/C2nkaiggotY

January 27, 2024: 113 DAYS since Israel started bombing Gaza (Israel bombed Gaza before October 7, 2023, as well). The 76 YEARS of OCCUPATION of Palestine MUST END NOW!
"The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague ordered Israel to prevent acts of genocide against Palestinians and do more to help civilians, although it stopped short of calling for a ceasefire as requested by the plaintiff, South Africa.”

Before New York City, there was Lenapehoking, the ancestral land of the Lenape people. Forcibly displaced by White European invaders, their land was stolen to create settler states. We live on stolen land. LAND BACK NOW!
Lenapehoking translated as 'homelands of the Lenape'. The territory of the Lenape people before White Europeans invaders arrived was known to them as Lenapehoking, and it covered roughly the area between New York City and Philadelphia, including all of New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania and part of the state of Delaware.
The Lenape, New York City and Manhattan’s original inhabitants, called the island Manahatta, which means “hilly island.” White European invaders stole Manahatta and all of New York City from the Lenape people.
