Peacemakers,

THERE ARE SOME BIG CHANGES COMING UP. Beginning on Saturday March 30th, our Stands for Palestine will be on the NW corner of the Highways 20 and 31 for at least a trial there to compare locations. Also, RCPJ will begin to have meetings again. If you are interested please let me know what is best for you, evenings or Saturdays for in-person meetings.
Until Saturday, Elaine Marie Kinch for RCPJ

Subject: RACINE CITY COUNCIL MEETING March 19th
Help us PACK THE HOUSE at Racine’s City Council meeting on Tuesday, March 19 @ 6 pm!
Three members of Advocates for Social Justice and Humanity will be speaking during public commentary at the City Council meeting to introduce a ceasefire resolution concerning Gaza. This one will be the first in the city!
The Advocates for Social Justice and Humanity speakers will raise their voices against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. They will need all the support they can get! Supporters are asked to sit in during the meeting to show their solidarity.
We need to show Racine that we stand with cities big and small all across the nation in support of a permanent ceasefire. Other cities have adopted resolutions to this end.
Please share this and invite folks who are tired of this ongoing madness!

Cease Fire Now, End the Occupation, Send Adequate Aid
Click here for actions.
When profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, [economic exploitation], and militarism are incapable of being conquered…A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death” –Martin Luther King, Jr.
Over the past 7 decades, we have sent billions to the State of Israel in weapons and money so that they can continue the occupation of Palestinian land. At the same time, we have watched the schools, housing and health care in our communities continue to be underfunded. While racism is used to explain the inequality in these areas here in the U.S., the same racist logic is used to excuse what Desmond Tutu of South Africa called, “Apartheid on steroids” in Palestine. To conquer MLK’s triplets of evil Palestine must be FREE.
“If the Palestinians had skin the color of coffee instead of olives, the world would recognize their degraded social status as akin to the apartheid regime of South Africa. But they are Arabs, in a world and in a time when Arabs are demonized in the corporate media as “terrorists.” As such, they are fair game. The Palestinians have been ghettoized, walled off by walls that violate international law, humiliated, and subjected to a century of dispossession and military repression. Their decades of negotiations have led to nothing but more of the same. They want what all people want, freedom. With love, not fear. This is Mumia Abu-Jamal.”

Janesville, WI 53545
Area constituents from the Wisconsin Coalition for Justice in Palestine, representing over 60 member organizations across the state, will deliver letters asking Representative Steil to vote NO on US AID TO ISRAEL. We will hold a brief rally outside and then deliver the cards and letters made by Steil’s constituents.
The delivery is part of a week of actions targeting all Wisconsin Congressional offices. Bryan Steil has shown his favoring with Israel alongside the AIPAC money he’s received ($87,203)! We’re rallying to Janesville to tell him no more money for Israel! Steil is complicit and as his constituents, we do not stand for this. Join us in writing a letter to Steil and rallying with us on the 15th this Thursday! If you would like to participate or keep up to date, join our signal group! Email me to be added to the group. This way, we can stay connected and well informed on the days leading up to the rally. (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.)
3 ATTACHMENTS IN THIS EMAIL
1. If you cannot make it, consider typing a letter and email it to Liz Fierro, lizbeth.fierro7 at gmail.com Attached to this email is a sample of how to write to your rep (in this case, Bryan Steil).

All Peacemakers in Racine and Kenosha:
The Wisconsin Coalition for Justice in Palestine, WCJP, will have a Press Conference 11 am, Thursday, Feb 1, 2024, at the Gateway Campus in Kenosha (3520 30th Ave) in front of the Administration Center–park in Lot A. Professor Rachel Ida Buff, Co-Chair of WCJP (and Chair of Jewish Voice for Peace) is the main speaker. She and we would like a good turnout, with extra folks to hold our signs, plus 2 or 3 banners and the Palestinian flag (she has approved each sign, the banners and the flag) for the Press Conference.
You can find the RCPJ press release REGARDING GATEWAY’S DECISION TO RESCIND THE MLK HUMANITARIAN AWARD TO THE BURLINGTON COALITION FOR DISMANTLING RACISM here–and see why, then you will understand the importance of this Conference.
IF YOU CAN COME LET Elaine KNOW VIA EMAIL. So we will know how much help we will have for the signs, banners, and flag.
Thanks, Elaine

Sign the petition asking for this to deescalate the Middle East situation.
Biden could also stop arming Israel.
