[Freefromwar] IMportant and timely Victoria Action Against F-35 Exports to Israel Via the United States

Fri Nov 15 11:50:15 PST 2024

VICTORIA
description
Stop the export of F-35 fighter jet components
Canada ! Stop Arming Genocide!
Bagels not Bombs!
March, mini-rally, kite-flying, food
9am prayer walk leaving Blue Bridge on Wharf St. leading to 11am rally 
at Lockheed Martin's facility, 1250 Lockley Road.
Hosted by Independent Jewish Voices-Victoria

What: 4 km early morning family-friendly Indigenous-led prayerful walk ( 
slow cycle, wheelchair or skate/booard) on Lək̓ʷəŋən Tung’ex, part of 
the Arms Embargo Now! national day of action for a two-way arms embargo 
on Israel, with Coast Salish matriarch Grandma Losah and friends, 
through Esquimault from the Blue Bridge downtown Victoria, leaving 9 am, 
to the administrative offices of the world's largest military contractor 
Lockheed Martin, who supplies components of F-35 fighter jets used to 
drop bombs pulverizing Gaza, Lebanon and elsewhere.

Bagels, homous, greens and olives brunch will be served at a small rally 
(11 am) at the Lockheed facility, 1250 Lockley Road. Music, poetry 
reading, kite-flying ( BYOKite, svp!!)

Hop on the Bus!

The Community Action Bus ( CAB) will be waiting at the start point near 
the bridge, facing southbound on Store Street and Pandora those who need 
or prefer a ride to the action and shuttle people back downtown for the 
big weekly ceasefire and Free Palestine rally for 1 pm.
