Palestine Today for July 8

On Sunday, the 13th of July, thousands will march from the US Capitol to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission against fracking and against fracked gas export from Cove Point, MD on the Chesapeake Bay.

We are calling for an anticapitalist bloc within this march on the grounds that stopping the destruction of Earth by fracking, tar sands, and mountaintop removal will require the overthrow of capitalism

The march will be gathering on the West side of the US Capitol along 3ed st NW on the Mall, bounded by Madison Drive NW and Jefferson Drive SW, which is the center area. Meet at the rolling infoshop cart under the red and black flags, wear black T-shirts.

On the 4th of July, the Palisades 4th of July parade included a "Moms Against Monsanto" contingent organized by Moms Across America.
