10/10: Twin Cities Palestinian Freedom Walk
LOCATION: Start and end at the MN State Capitol, St. Paul
In 40 cities across the US, the American Association for Palestinian Equal Rights’ (AAPER) is organizing its First Annual
Palestine Freedom Walks. The Palestine Freedom
Walks will be silent marches, similar to those that took place during
the Civil Rights Movement, on behalf of an equitable U.S. policy toward
Palestine that advances freedom for the Palestinian people.
The Palestine Freedom Walks have two major goals: First,
to raise awareness about the situation in Palestine among Americans who
will take part in, sponsor and observe the walks, including your family
members, friends, neighbors and community members. And second, to raise funds for a powerful AAPER online advertising campaign calling for freedom for the Palestinian people.
