Portland Stands With Lebanon!

Local human rights groups, members of Lebanese families, and faith organizations call for cease fire, humanitarian aid for Lebanon and Gaza, and announce plans for a Sunday, July 30th mobilization for peace in the Middle East.

Mobilization for Peace in the Middle East!
When: Sunday, July 30th at 1pm
Where: Pioneer Courthouse Square

There will be a large community gathering Sunday, July 30th, in Pioneer Courthouse Square from 1:00 to 5:00 pm, to bring attention to the suffering of the people in this region and their ties to Portland. Please come and tell all your friends and family. Bring signs. Show your support for a cease fire, for justice, for negotiation not destruction.

An alliance of local human rights groups, faith organizations and individuals with family ties to the regions of Lebanon and Gaza now under attack by Israeli military forces is calling on the US government to demand an immediate cease fire, and to provide humanitarian aid to those suffering from the violence and blockades.
