SATURDAY, June 6th at 1PM - USPCN alongside HCW4P and Codepink are holding a protest demanding that the American Medical Association (AMA) call for the immediate release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and all Palestinian healthcare workers detained by Israel!

As Dr. Abu Safiya’s health declines, his situation grows more dire - we must protest and demand for his freedom, as well as the freedom of all our beloved Palestinian political prisoners! Invite your family, friends, and all you know to come out to this protest and JOIN US! ✊🏽
