Put the Pennsylvania Prison System on Trial! Municipal Services
Building, Philadelphia. Monday, November 19, 2012 4:00pm Join
Decarcerate PA to put Governor Corbett & Department of Corrections
Secretary Wetzel on trial for crimes against Pennsylvanians. 15th &
JFK Blvd (the Municipal Services Building plaza). We charge Governor
Corbett with the misuse of funds for taking money from our schools and
putting it into the prison system. We charge Governor Corbett with
continuing policies that lock up our families, friends and neighbors,
destroy our communities and fail to make any of us safer. We charge
Secretary Wetzel with human rights abuses for the inhumane conditions
in Pennsylvania's prisons. We demand Governor Corbett cancel all
prison construction, support smart legislative reform to bring our
neighbors home and keep them home, and invest in education, social
services and health care to build safer, stronger communities! learn

Stop Israel's War on Gaza! Tuesday, November 20 at 1:00pm Rally at the
Bell Tower at Temple University (on 13th St. Between Montgomery and
Norris) Co-sponsored by ANSWER Philadelphia and Temple Students for
Justice in Palestine Beginning Nov. 14, Israel has launched another
major assault against the Palestinian people in Gaza called “Operation
Pillar of Cloud”. Israeli troops have been assembled at the border and
are poised to invade Gaza again. In an act designed to provoke a wider
war, missiles from Israel assassinated a top Palestinian leader and
killed and wounded many others as its planes and warships launched a
continuous onslaught of deadly bombings. Reports of the bombardment of
Gaza are continuing as bodies, including those of children, are being
brought to the hospital and morgue. This massacre if being
underwritten in large part by U.S. tax dollars. Instead of schools,
hospitals or other things our communities need, $3 billion in military
aid is being sent to Israel every year to carry out atrocities against
our Palestinian sisters and brothers. Join us for a rally and
speak-out to demand an end to the Israeli campaign of terror against
Gaza and an end to all U.S. support for Israel. Thanks to the hard
work of groups like Philly BDS, IAC, and many others we've already had
several successful demonstrations against the Israeli attack on Gaza.
I hope Philly can keep up our solidarity with the Palestinian people
with this protest (see below) co-sponsored by ANSWER Philadelphia and
Temple Students for Justice in Palestine. Although the demonstration
is at Temple, we hope that as many non-students as possible can join
