Queers for Palestine, 11/12/23
Thousands of Queers March for Palestine in Manhattan
John Riley & Pauline Park will be discussing their participation in the recent Queer March for Palestine in Manhattan.
On Sunday, November 12, a crowd of young adults numbering between 2,000-2,500 gathered, rallied, and marched from Union Square to the Stonewall Inn, where they again rallied and then marched to Washington Square Park. We present a sampling of the speeches given at all 3 locations. Homemade signs expressing solidarity with Queer Palestinians and their freedom struggle were abundant. Below is a video of scenes from the Queers for Palestine march.

Local Actions Demand Congresspersons' Support for Ceasefire and Aid to Gaza
Rep. Dan Goldman (NY10)
Grace Meng (NY6)
Pauline Park and Naomi Brussel talk about recent NYC neighborhood protests at local offices of Grace Meng and Daniel Goldman. They describe the political histories of these two members of the House of Representatives on Zionism. Local activists are pressuring them to co-sponsor legislation (introduced by Missouri Congresswoman Cori Bush) that calls on the Biden administration to facilitate an immediate ceasefire in Israel and occupied Palestine and to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Activist and Out-FM Associate Producer Pauline Park on First LGBTQ Delegation to Palestine
Pauline Park speaks with Naomi Brussel about the first US delegation tour of Palestine in 2012 and also about the serious situation regarding Facebook censorship and even de-platforming of Palestinians and Palestine solidarity activists on the world's largest social media platform and the consequences for on-line resistance to Israeli occupation, apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide.
