If you are hungry, I will offer food. If you are thirsty, I will offer water. If you are cold, I will offer warmth. If you are in need, ask and I will give. If you are in trouble, ask and I will help. I do not do these things in the hopes of being rewarded. I do not do these things out of fear of punishment. I do these things because I know them to be right. I set my own standards and I alone enforce them. I am an Anarchist.

“PITTSBURGH EMERGENCY: PROTEST STOP THE GENOCIDE” 6PM WEDNESDAY MARCH 9 FEDERAL BUILDING - 100 LIBERTY AVE, PITTSBURGH PA 15213 From the Pittsburgh Palestine Coalition: We condemn in the strongest terms the resumption of the zionist genocide in Gaza, massacring hundreds with airstrikes targeting homes, schools, & shelters. This aggression comes after Israel accelerated its annexation project in the West Bank, & began violating the Gaza ceasefire on March 2nd, blockading food, medicine and fuel to nearly 2 million Palestinians. We hold the current U.S. administration responsible for this resumption and for its partnership in the ongoing massacre of Arabs in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen and Syria, just as the previous administration acted in submission to zionists' colonial desires. Meanwhile Trump threatens confrontation with Iran, and the risk of world war is looming. Therefore it is incumbent upon every person of conscience to refuse the normalization of genocide. Join us in the streets in Pittsburgh tomorrow at 6pm for an emergency mobilization to demand an end to foreign wars and for a free Palestine. We can, we must, and we will organize to confront this moment and what it requires of us. Kindly reminder to be mindful of and take appropriate security precautions.
