MASS PROTEST IN WASHINGTON, AUG. 2 A broad coalition of 30 antiwar, pro-Palestine, Muslim and Arab-American groups have joined together to organize a national march on the White House on Saturday, August 2 — a week away. Even if a temporary cease fire is somehow obtained, which remains doubtful, the principal issue of ending the seven-year siege of Gaza will not be resolved anytime soon. The main slogans of the day, when demonstrators gather at 1 p.m. in Lafayette Square across from the White House, are: Stop the Massacre in Gaza, End the Siege, Halt U.S. Aid to Israel, End the Colonial Occupation. For ticket information go to [email protected] or call (212) 694-8720. Round-trip bus tickets are $40. Buses leave Union Square Park, Manhattan,14th St. and Broadway (Subway: L/4/5/6/N/Q/R; also walking distance: F or 1/2/3) at 6:30 a.m. sharp. (Arrive by 6:10 a.m.).
