I can’t upload all the pictures and videos because they’re too big apparently! But it was fucking awesome. At least 150,000 people were there marching for Palestine and SCREAMING the “Biden, Biden, you can’t hide, you’re funding a genocide” chants. It was genuinely so hopeful and refreshing. It was made very clear that this was only the beginning of more direct action that will have consequences and force the hand of our dictators of capital. We spray painted a McDonald’s window “GAZA” (in minecraft of course) and screamed “Fuck McDonald’s” because we’re boycotting Starbucks and McDonald’s. I met a few pretty relevant tiktokers and Karina Garcia, the PSL’s presidential candidate’s VP!
Overall a fucking wonderful experience and I’m going to bring this energy back home. Like I said this is only the beginning and it really is showing some serious dedication and revolutionary intent.
Check out answercoalition on Instagram to see the size of the crowd and some of the speeches. I’ll see if I can link pictures in the comments below.
FUCK THE AMERICAN WAR MACHINE, WE WILL SEE A FREE PALESTINE AND A SOCIALIST WORLD IN OUR LIFETIME
Fuck yes comrade!
Counter-protestors regarding this issue are cowards and don’t leave their house half the time. Why should they? They can be keyboard warriors and have the state do their bidding.
There always are a few finger flippers but fuck them they’re outnumbered as hell.
My small data collection from the protests I’ve been to (4 since October 7) is a very large pro-palestine bias. Tons more honks and supports than negative
Yeah, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by all of this. Considering how things had been going my entire life, I thought our countrymen would’ve largely gone back to supporting Israel as soon as the media told them to, but I’m glad to see I was wrong this time.
