(en) US, Anarchists Against the Wall Tour the Bay Area On February 5th & 6th - Prsentations at three locations

Date Mon, 02 Feb 2009 11:15:43 +0200



Schachaf Polakow, a member of Anarchists Against the Wall, will give three presentations in the Bay
Area that will include film and photos, and will focus both on AATW's recent work in solidarity
with Gaza and their ongoing work in the West Bank. ---- Presentations will be at these times and
locations: ---- February 5th, Berkeley, 7:30 - 9:30 p.m., Unitarian Hall, 1924 Cedar St.
February 6th, Berkeley, 4:00-6:00 p.m., UC Berkeley, 105 Boalt Hall. ---- February 6th, San
Francisco, 7:30-9:30 p.m., Station 40, 3030b 16th St. (and Mission) ---- Anarchists Against the
Wall is a direct action group that fights against Israeli apartheid and oppression in all its
forms, most recently also the atrocities in Gaza. For five years the group has waged a constant
struggle against Israel's Wall. The work on the ground in the West Bank, alongside the Palestinian
popular movement is breaking new ground in the joint struggle for Palestinian liberation.

In December 2008, Anarchists Against the Wall and the Bil'in Village Committee were jointly awarded
the prestigious Carl von Ossietzky Medal---an award given annually by the Berlin-based
International League of Human Rights, named after German Nobel Peace Prize winner Carl von
Ossietzky who died in a Nazi concentration camp.

Since its formation in response to the construction of the West Bank apartheid wall in 2003, the
group has participated in hundreds of demonstrations and direct actions against the wall
specifically, and the occupation generally, all over the West Bank. All of AATW's work in Palestine
is coordinated through villages' local popular committees and is essentially Palestinian led.

Now more than ever, it is critical to support the Israeli resistance movement against the state's
attempted repression of our work. Members of Anarchists Against the Wall continually pay the price
for our activism, including being shot, beaten, arrested and indicted. Anarchists Against the Wall
is in strong need of funding for legal support for both Palestinian and Israeli activists who are
arrested and charged in the course of the struggle.
