A rally is planned for 10 a.m. Friday at Pan Pacific Park as part of a nationwide effort demanding an immediate ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, cutting all aid to Israel and lifting the siege on Gaza.
Shut It Down for Palestine plans boycotts, disruptions and rallies on Black Friday “to make it clear that there will be no business as usual until Palestine is free,” according to the ANSWER Coalition, one of the convenors of Shut It Down for Palestine.
The coalition’s name is a acronym for Act Now to Stop War and End Racism.
The park is adjacent to The Grove shopping center.
