They want people to contact them tomorrow, Friday, March 30, Palestinian
Land Day.
This is an opportunity for friends of Israel to ALSO contact Macy's!
Hundreds of people from around the world - including CODEPINK activist
Tighe - will come together to march toward Jerusalem from Palestine,
Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt. The Global March to Jerusalem, endorsed by
CODEPINK, is calling for freedom for Jerusalem and its people, to end
Israeli policies of apartheid, and ethnic cleansing … and there’s something
we can do to stand in solidarity.
For Land Day we are asking you to contact Macy’s, the department store with
over 800 stores across the US, and ask that they stop selling Ahava and
SodaStream -- products made in illegal Israeli settlements. Macy’s corporate
policy statement emphasizes its commitment to social responsibility as well
as to respect for the rights and property of others, but there’s nothing
respectful in selling stolen goods.

Why March 30th? On March 30, 1976 Palestinian citizens of Israel held a
general strike and organized demonstrations in protest of Israeli government
plans to expropriate Palestinian land in the Galilee. There were solidarity
protests in the West Bank, Gaza and in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon.
During the protests in Israel, six unarmed Palestinians were shot and killed
by Israeli soldiers and police. One hundred were wounded, and hundreds more
were arrested. Since 1976, Palestinians around the world commemorate March
30th as Land Day, a symbol of resistance to Israel’s ongoing land
expropriation, colonization, occupation and apartheid.
This year the Boycott National Committee, the Palestinian coordinating
committee for the international boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS)
movement, has called again for a Global BDS Day of Action to commemorate
Land Day. CODEPINK’s contributions to BDS are our Stolen Beauty Ahava
Boycott, which launched in June 2009, and our relatively new Boycott
SodaStream campaign. Both Ahava and SodaStream produce their goods in
illegal West Bank settlements.
Thank you for being a part of our Land Day action in support of dignity,
equality and justice for Palestinians.
Onward,
Nancy, Kristen and Rae
P.S. Please don’t forget to send a letter to Macy’s today! And if you would
