Tuesday evening, Milwaukee SDS and an ad-hoc coalition of community organizations held an emergency protest in support of Gaza.
The protest was held in front of the Federal building in downtown Milwaukee, and was well attended by more than 300 Palestinians, Jews, Muslims, and community members from all backgrounds. Students took the lead in forming the coalition.
Speakers included student organizers, a Palestinian man who works in conflict resolution, a Muslim student activist, a celebrated Milwaukee activist and visitor to Gaza, and the President of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee.
Various media were in attendance, and we received tv news coverage.
