Additionally, we know that
several U.S. citizens, including US Campaign Advisory Board member
Huwaida Arraf and US Campaign member Paul Larudee were beaten badly
during the attack; and that U.S. citizen Emily Henochowicz lost her eye
after being shot with a tear gas canister while protesting the flotilla
massacre near the Qalandia Checkpoint in the West Bank. Click here to
download a template letter that you can give to your Member of Congress
demanding an investigation into violations of the Arms Export Control
Act. Take action by contacting your Members of Congress
and the White House to demand a complete, independent investigation; the
end of the illegal blockade of the Gaza Strip; and an end to U.S.
funding of Israeli aggression and war crimes. Take action now by clicking here! Protests and Rallies You can also find resources
for protests and media action on our Gaza Freedom Flotilla web section. Protests continue across the United States--join one near you, or organize your own using our Gaza Freedom Flotilla resources and register your action with the Gaza Freedom March website. Here's a list of U.S. actions in the coming days: June 3: June 4: June 5: June 8: Keep checking the website for more
actions! What Else Can You Do? 1) Organize an event to respond to the Emergency BDS Day of Action call issued by the
Palestinian BDS National Committee. 2) Stay on top of the US Campaign's appearances "In the News" to find out more about how we're educating people about Israel's atrocity on the high seas. 3) Keep an eye on our blog for updates. 4) Support Evergreen College divestment! This morning we learned that the student body at Evergreen College, where U.S. activist Rachel Corrie attended college, has voted yes to two resolutions calling for divestment from companies that profit from the Israeli occupation. 79.5% of Evergreen College students voted yes to a resolution calling for a "socially responsible investment policy" and to "divest from companies that profit from Israel's occupation of Palestine." And 71.8% of the students voted to establish Evergreen College as a "Caterpillar Free Zone" because of the militarized bulldozers that CAT sells to the Israeli government (one of which was used to kill Rachel Corrie).
