> *Tomorrow*, November 15, in an act of *civil disobedience* inspired by
> the U.S. Civil Rights Movement's "Freedom Riders" of 50 years ago, West
> Bank Palestinian activists will attempt to board Israeli settler buses
> to occupied East Jerusalem.
>
> The *Palestinian Freedom Riders* will assert their right to liberty and
> dignity by actively challenging Israel's apartheid policies, including
> its *segregated *transportation systems, and its denial of access for
> Palestinians to Jerusalem. The Freedom Riders have been praised by
> Pulitzer Prize laureate _Alice Walker_
> <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=XWUcraYRY4NYi9pINXitnI7jpXly8cSb>

> Civil disobedience carries *dire consequences *for the Palestinian
> people, as it did for the U.S. Freedom Riders. The threat of
> imprisonment or physical attacks by settlers and the Israeli military is
> very real. The Freedom Riders are calling for solidarity from people of
> conscience around the world.
>
> Activists and member groups are mobilizing throughout the United States
> to show solidarity with the Freedom Riders tomorrow. There are actions
> and "teach-ins" planned in *Seattle*, *Portland*, *Sacramento*,
> *Oakland*, *Los Angeles*, *Phoenix*, *Twin Cities*, *Chicago*, *Boston*,
> *New York*, *Philadelphia*, *Baltimore*, *Washington, D.C.*, and beyond.
