[van-announce] Mothers and Families Occupying Office of MP Don Davies: Say "Let Gaza Live!"

[Charlotte Kates]

Happening now! Occupation of MP Don Davies Office; Mothers and Families for
Gaza Say Let Gaza Live

A group of twenty mothers and families are currently occupying NDP MP Don
Davies office in Vancouver, unceded Coast Salish territories. The NDP has
aligned itself with Israeli war crimes with shameful statements about "the
conflict," invoking a false neutrality, and comments about "Israel's right
to defend itself" without any mention of Palestinian self-determination.

All levels of Canadian government are complicit in the massacre of
Palestinian children. Since July 8 over 1700 Palestinians have been killed,
of whom at least 400 are children. Children account for 25% of all those
killed and 30% of those injured. As mothers and families with children, we
mourn for the children of Gaza whose precious lives have been cut short
while our children are with us.

We condemn the NDP's pathetic position, we are outraged by Canada's active
and unconditional support for Israeli war crimes, and we stand in full
solidarity with the Palestinian people.

SUPPORT THIS ACTION:
1. Phone your NDP MP, and NDP Party Leader Thomas Mulcair and let them know
that you do not agree with the NDP’s weak position on Gaza and are outraged
by Canada’s active and unconditional support for Israeli war crimes.
o MP Don Davies: 604-775-6263 and 613-943-0267
o NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair: 613-236-3613 or 1-866-525-2555
o NDP Foreign Affairs Critic Paul Dewar: 613-946-8682
