Noisemakers Against Genocide (NAG), an autonomous group of pro-Palestine activists, along with the Revolutionary Love Brigade street chalk artists, are organizing a protest at the Israeli consulate in San Francisco's Financial District. The event will honor the 2nd anniversary of US Airman Aaron Bushnell's self-immolation in protest of US complicity in genocide, and call for an end to the ongoing US-Israeli led genocide in Gaza.

Why it matters

The protest aims to raise awareness about the ongoing human rights abuses and violence against Palestinians, and to pressure the Israeli government and its US allies to end their occupation and policies that have been condemned as constituting genocide. The event is part of a broader movement to hold Israel accountable for its actions and to advocate for Palestinian self-determination.

The details

The protest will take place at the Israeli consulate, located at 456 Montgomery St. in downtown San Francisco. Participants are encouraged to bring noisemaking objects like drums, whistles, and pots and pans, as well as Palestinian flags, signs, and banners.
