CALL TO ACTION
MARCH 16 – DAY OF CONSCIENCE – RACHEL CORRIE DAY OF ACTION
This month, a civil lawsuit in Israel in the case of our daughter
Rachel Corrie will converge with the seven-year anniversary of her
killing in Gaza. A human rights observer and activist, Rachel, 23, was
crushed to death by an Israel Defense Force (IDF) Caterpillar D9R
bulldozer as she tried nonviolently to offer protection for a
Palestinian family whose home was threatened with demolition. This
lawsuit is one piece of our family’s seven-year effort to pursue
accountabiliy for Rachel while, also, challenging the Occupation that
claimed her life.
International Day of Conscience – Rachel Corrie Day of Action – Be
Visible
In what some will mark as an “International Day of Conscience,” on
March 16 (or in days before and after) please help us bring attention
to the trial in Israel in Rachel's case and the larger, but connected,
issues. Try to be visible - in events, vigils, and actions that call
for truth, accountability and justice, in Rachel’s case and link to
the following:
*Lack of accountability for thousands of lives lost, or indelibly
injured, by occupation—in a besieged and beleaguered Gaza and
throughout Palestine/Israel.
*The Israeli Government and Military assault on nonviolent human
rights activists (Palestinian, Israeli, and international).
*Lack of access for Palestinians to Israeli courts.
Help us make your effort visible.
Post your event/activity at the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli
Occupation website: http://www.endtheoccupation.org/form.php?id=131
List it as a March 16-Rachel Corrie Day of Action event. Send word
