Open Letter
To the President of the Council of the Sardinia Region Gianfranco Ganau
To the President of the Sardinian Regional Council Francesco Pigliaru
To the Rector of the University of Cagliari Maria Del Zompo
To the Mayor of Cagliari Massimo Zedda
The assembly of Sardinian citizens and students gathered on 4 April 2018 at the headquarters of the Associazione Amicizia Sardegna Palestina, calls upon you in your official capacity, following the facts of the situation in Gaza, to condemn the massacres of unarmed Palestinian civilians and call for an end to all acts of aggression in violation of international law and human rights. The Palestinian people have the right to protest against Israel for its theft of the land. We emphasize, once again, that the Palestinian people have the right to their own state recognized by all international institutions. We make our own protest in the name of democracy and solidarity against the violent actions of Israel and we ask that Sardinian institutions are not complicit in what has happened.
All of the associations present at the meeting sign this appeal.

On March 30th 2018, around 30,000 Palestinians marched in the March of Return, which aimed to set up a few camps several hundred meters from the militarised fence surrounding the Gaza Strip. Their goal was to protest their incarceration in the world’s largest open-air prison as well as the massive confiscation of their ancestral land. Civil society groups organized this non-violent protest that sparked open fire from Israeli soldiers and snipers, killing now 21 unarmed protestors in one week and injuring countless others. This is now being called Gaza’s Passover Massacre.
It marked the beginning of a six-week sit-in, starting on Land Day, an event that commemorates six Palestinian citizens of Israel who were shot dead by Israeli forces after protesting the government’s confiscation of large swaths of Palestinian land on March 30, 1976. The sit in was set to end of May 15th, Nakba Day, which this year marks 70 years since the ethnic cleansing of 750,000 Palestinians by Zionist militias from their villages and towns.
Join JFP Calgary as we join groups and actions around the world as we stand up for the rights of Palestinians to protest their daily nightmare as open air prisoners. We will be at the corner of 17th Avenue and 8th Street SW from 3 -5 pm on Sunday April 8th with signs and candles to honor the lives lost and to stand in solidarity with the Palestinians and all groups around the world that condemn the senseless killing and violence that continues against innocent civilians exercising their basic rights.

The Massachusetts Against Hewlett Packard campaign is a local component of an international effort to compel HP companies to end their support for violence and oppression around the world through economic boycotts and divestment. Massachusetts Against Hewlett Packard is bringing a resolution to a hearing and vote in the Cambridge City council on Monday, April 23rd which, if passed, would require the city to end all purchasing and procurement from Hewlett Packard companies until these companies terminate their support for oppression of and violence against Palestinians, immigrants in the US, and people targeted by the US prison system.
