Kansas City Activists Rally For Palestine On Country Club Plaza

And so the global discourse comes home to Kansas City in just a few moments . . . 

Check the verbiage of social media supporters: 

"The protestors do not celebrate or advocate for any violence against anyone, and are protesting the U.S. government’s current support and funding of the Israeli government’s current unprecedented bombardment of the Gaza Strip and the ongoing U.S. support for the occupation and apartheid that has led to this conflict. We are witnessing a terrible atrocity that is fully backed by our government- hope to see you at the Plaza today to speak out against it."

Meanwhile . . . The note from the announcement seems a bit more militant . . . 

"The pain of the last week, 17 years of occupation, and 75 years of colonial violence is felt in our hearts and at the forefront of our minds. Today, we ask for a call to END the attacks on Gaza and the illegal siege of Gaza, END the brutal and inhumane zionist occupation, END the US’s financial and diplomatic support of israel and it’s violent regimes."

Meanwhile . . .

This assurance from Mayor Q is also important . . . 

"The women and men of the Kansas City Police Department, Parks, and all our agencies will work to ensure that all who gather today and this weekend in our community to exercise their rights—whether to speak, rally, worship, or simply come together—can do so safely and peacefully."
