They need to hear from and see us!  Tell them to take action to:

- stop Israel's massacres that have now killed over 2100 Gazans, mostly
civilians including nearly 500 children. 
- end the blockade that is choking the 1.7 million people of Gaza.

Here are 5 things you can do this week:

1)

part of the one-day protest at the Federal Building, 501 I St. in downtown
Sacramento.

Share on Facebook.
   We will vigil in front of the building and invite people to participate
in:  a die-in, reading names of those killed, and going to Matsui and
Boxer's offices to deliver letters, pictures of the bombing, names of
victims, etc. We will also do call-ins to electeds in near-by districts,
including: Garamendi, Bera, McNerney, LaMalfa, McClintock. Around 3:45pm, we
will begin rallying as rush hour traffic picks up.  Bring family, friends,
co-workers, etc.  Park at on-street meters in area & Old Sacramento or take
lite rail to the Sacramento Valley station or local buses.
