I can’t upload all the pictures and videos because they’re too big apparently! But it was fucking awesome. At least 150,000 people were there marching for Palestine and SCREAMING the “Biden, Biden, you can’t hide, you’re funding a genocide” chants. It was genuinely so hopeful and refreshing. It was made very clear that this was only the beginning of more direct action that will have consequences and force the hand of our dictators of capital. We spray painted a McDonald’s window “GAZA” (in minecraft of course) and screamed “Fuck McDonald’s” because we’re boycotting Starbucks and McDonald’s. I met a few pretty relevant tiktokers and Karina Garcia, the PSL’s presidential candidate’s VP!

Overall a fucking wonderful experience and I’m going to bring this energy back home. Like I said this is only the beginning and it really is showing some serious dedication and revolutionary intent.

Check out answercoalition on Instagram to see the size of the crowd and some of the speeches. I’ll see if I can link pictures in the comments below.

FUCK THE AMERICAN WAR MACHINE, WE WILL SEE A FREE PALESTINE AND A SOCIALIST WORLD IN OUR LIFETIME

    I wasn’t able to go, but I made sure to watch the entire BreakThrough News live stream. I could feel the immense energy of it all through the screen, and I hope to join in on physically being at some of these protests as soon as possible.

    FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA!

      The energy was amazing. People of all walks of life, all religions, all ethnicities, all races, all ages, all identities, fighting for the lives of those just like us.
