"Despite the October ceasefire, Israel has continued to violate its terms; cutting aid, restricting fuel, and carrying out deadly attacks across Gaza and the West Bank. "We’re keeping our Sunday rallies going to continue building momentum, and to hold the line in demanding accountability from U.S. and Israeli politicians like Trump and Netanyahu for their role in the genocide in Gaza. "We encourage folks to bring any art supplies: large markers, canvases, cardboard, paint and brushes, or anything else you have — so we can create new protest signs on the spot."
