Description:

An Afternoon Fundraiser With UK Parliament Member George Galloway

Saturday, June 27 - 3:00 PM
Alhambra Palace Restaurant,
1240 W. Randolph St., Chicago

Tickets $35. $25 students. $10 children.

Fresh from the success of the Viva Palestina: Lifeline from Britain to Gaza aid convoy - which took over 100 vehicles to Gaza from the United Kingdom, UK Parliament member George Galloway has linked up on his U.S. tour with Vietnam veteran and peace activist Ron Kovic to launch a similar � but even larger venture from the States.

The effort aims to raise ten million dollars and recruit hundreds of Americans to get desperately needed medical aid to Gaza, which is still reeling in the wake of its brutal bombardment at the beginning of the year. Over 1,400 people were killed in that Israeli assault and invasion, and thousands more lost limbs or were otherwise maimed by phosphorus bombs and other weapons. Pastors for Peace is serving as fiscal sponsor for this effort � the largest grassroots medical relief effort for Gaza in U.S. history. We leave on July 4 for Cairo � and on to Gaza.

�There's a new atmosphere in the US over Palestine,� says George Galloway. �American revulsion at the December 2008 Israeli assault on Gaza proved that, and the tremendous response to my national tour over the last four months shows that Americans want to do more.�

- Support this vital cause. Join us. And please give generously!
