Please join CodePink New Year’s Eve 4:30pm at City Hall to stand in solidarity with the people of Gaza and the Gaza Freedom Marchers now in Cairo. This will be a simple vigil with signs (please bring one) and a flyer designed to raise awareness of the effects of the blockade, and remind folks of the one year anniversary of Israel’s 22 day assault, which killed more 1400 Palestinians and injured more than 5000. Please see gazafreedommarch.wordpress.com for more information and updates on the Gaza Freedom March.

First Night will be going on downtown. This gives us lots of exposure, but, the parking implications are obvious. So, bus it, bike it, or bust your butt for parking, but, please try to join us! Check out the First Night website for info about street closures
