Tonight's the night! Please Stand for Peace at Sen Warner's Abingdon Rally

⏰ Tonight (Fri.) 5:30-7:30pm
📍 Abingdon Farmers Market Pavilion

Sen. Warner has consistently voted to fund bombs for genocide - BUT in recent conversations he's told us that he's considering changing that position. So, we want to really put the pressure on!
Please join us, (even just to drop in for part of the rally) and tell anyone you think of to come along! ❤️🖤🤍💚🇵🇸

📣 Thurs Palestine Action Alert - Meet Sen Warner in Person
📍Abingdon Farmers Market
⏰ Thurs, Oct 29th 5:30-7:30pm

Please bring your signs and join us at Warner's rally on Thursday as we continue to pressure Senator Warner to Stop Funding Genocide! We will stand together with our signs and pass out "Save Palestine" stickers to attendees.

As many of you remember, we last met with the senator via Zoom in May. On that call, Warner indicated that he was interested in changing his position on Palestine to finally stand against genocide and stop funding Israel.
Unfortunately, since that call, he has not taken any action. At every opportunity, Warner has voted to increase military funding to Israel's genocide, while refusing to recognize Palestine's basic right to existence through statehood or make any move refund UNRWA and desperately needed aid.

It is up to us to keep the Palestinian people present in the Senator's thoughts and actions! The more people we have, the bigger impression we will make on Warner, so please come and bring friends!
