@indivisibleslt.bsky.social
I’m trying to inform people about the protest on Saturday wherever I go and I’m surprised by how many people still didn’t know about it. Are you posting notices in public places, store bulletin boards, the local papers, etc?

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January
* 100s starved to death, including kids
* Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel
* US citizens murdered in the West Bank
