No votes for genocide!

Nov. 2 — Three days before the capitalist elections, people gathered in Manhattan’s Union Square to say no to the mass murder in Palestine and Lebanon. Called by the Shut It Down 4 Palestine Coalition, the action was part of a National Day of Action to say no votes for genocide!

“The U.S. government funnels billions of our tax dollars to Israel as they continue to commit genocide against the Palestinian people,” declared the coalition. “During this presidential election, we won’t forget the candidates’ blatant support for the genocide.”

Speakers at the Union Square rally demanded a ceasefire and stopping the endless baby-killing weapons shipments to the Zionist occupiers of Palestine.

People marched up New York City’s avenues through Herald Square and Times Square before holding a final rally at the reference library on Fifth Avenue. No matter what happens on election day, the struggle for Palestinian liberation will continue.

Later, just before midnight, several dozen protesters gathered outside NBC Studios at Rockefeller Center to confront Kamala Harris, who made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live. As her caravan passed, they waved Palestinian flags and chanted, “100,000 people dead, Kamala, your hands are red” and “Democrat, Republican, genocide is by bipartisan.”
