A flyer on a bright red background contains black text. It is titled "Intersectional Protest: Only Decolonization will save us all." Then it gives the details of the protest, which are: "Wednesday, October 15, 2025. 5:30-6:30pm. Court & Main, Doylestown, PA. Mask required, and provided by @maskblocbuckscounty." It also has a Palestine flag with other symbols inside it in the middle of the flyer. In the red triangle of the flag is the Bucks Stands Up logo, an outline of Bucks County with the clenched fist symbol inside it. There is text in the black and green stripes of the flag in, the colors are switched, and it reads: "THEY TRY TO DIVIDE US, BUT THEY ONLY UNITE US." The white stripe has another clenched fist symbol, the transgender symbol, and the infinity neurodivergence symbol on its side.

Next week will mark TWO YEARS of the most documented genocide in history. We have two things planned in response to it:

Tuesday 10/7:
GRIEF -> ACTION: Moment of Silence and Sign Making
7-9pm
Doylestown (DM for address)

Wednesday 10/8:
PROTEST
5:30-6:30pm
Court & Main
Doylestown

(Cont. below)
A fluorescent stop sign red, bright white, and true black pallet, a bold and tall font, and iconography with a texture between medium grain & pointillism, comes together for an urgent and uncompromising mood. The outline of the Gaza strip sits in the upper half of the portrait style rectangular image, and further divides it in half, reminiscent of a forward slash by the angle its rotated to. The text size is varied, by word and also by sentence to provide emphasis. The largest text in the upper left quarter reads "Two years", in the middle is the Gaza icon, and to the right are the words "of genocide" below this reads "estimated 680,000+ killed" It's stylized so each alternating word is in red and then white, and in all uppercase. In the top right corner is the BSU logo, a transparent, so in this case true black as the background, raised fist of power over the outline of Bucks county filled in with white. Our name is written in black on a white circular ring around the logo with "Bucks" at the top and "stands up" on the bottom, all uppercase. The bottom half of the image has two sections split by a red dividing line that's closer to the right side. The headers for each side are in bright red and uppercase. The left one reads "Grief" and then an icon of a right facing arrow, pointing to the word "action." The right side says "Protest." The grief to action section details are a "Moment of silence and sign making" written in uppercase pale red, then the date and time below that " Tues 10/7" at "7-9pm" in "Doylestown (DM for address.)" The protest is on "Wed 10/8" between "5:30-6:30pm" at "Court and Main" in Doylestown. The footer is written in red and uppercase, it reads "Masks required and provided at both"

To be clear we aren't doing these anymore. See our actions update post for more detail, but we don't have enough people who can do it consistently anymore, and we think our limited efforts are better spent elsewhere rather than trying to convince a genocide supporter to try to end a genocide.

EMERGENCY PROTEST AND PHONE STORM: TELL FITZPATRICK TO STOP STARVING GAZA NOW! We're now doing these every Monday and Thursday to increase the pressure even more as Israel continues to starve Gaza, and Fitzpatrick continues to support it. Join us in whatever way you can!
On a black background crisp blocky text in all caps reads "emergency action tell Fitzpatrick stop starving Gaza now" the words tell Fitzpatrick are emphasized by being written in white while the rest is written in light pink. Below that to the left in smaller white text reads "Thursday 8/28 9:30 AM outside his office " then it lists the office location "(Meet at Summit Square Shopping Center, George School, PA, 18940)" To the right is an image of the Palestine flag with a white glow border and the Bucks Stands Up logo which is a raised power fist in black over a shape of Bucks County that's colored white. Under these is text that reads "bring pots, pans, and your voice!" Then "no peace for genocide supporters" which is written in call caps On a black background crisp blocky text in all caps reads "emergency action tell Fitzpatrick stop starving Gaza now" the words tell Fitzpatrick are emphasized by being written in white while the rest is written in light pink. Below that to the left in smaller white text reads " phone storm call his office Thursday 8/28" then it lists the office number in pink "(215) 579-8102" In small white text below that reads " office hours are 9am to 4:30 pm, call during them if you can!' To the right is an image of the Palestine flag with a white glow border and the Bucks Stands Up logo which is a raised power fist in black over a shape of Bucks County that's colored white. Under these are a larger image of Brian Fitzpatrick's face in black and white against a background of what appears to be decimated Gaza with a deep red filter over it.

Important statement regarding our daily actions and where BSU is heading next! We felt the need to make a more official statement after the daily actions stopped, this should clear things up. We are hopeful for the future of BSU, and we hope you will be a part of it!

(1/5)
In a bold, clear, blocky font we bring to you this "Actions Update." Which is written with stark white text, as all of the text is (besides our logo in the footer.) It's juxtaposed on a black banner. This text banner repeats for three slides. The background is an attention grabbing shade of red, reminiscent of a cardinal. The first paragraph of text reads "This is a more official statement concerning our daily local actions for liberation, as they have come to a halt at this time. With help from comrades in other local groups, we were able to maintain daily actions in the Buxmont area for five weeks, only missing a couple days!" the second paragraph reads "We did new kinds of actions, went to new locations, yelled at Brian Fitzpatrick, gained new active members, and held our biggest protest yet (19 people)!" Our logo sits in the bottom left corner in a significantly smaller size. The black, the true color, not Black with a capital B/skin-toned, raised fist of power is overlaid on top of a solid white filled in outline of bucks county, which itself is overlaid on a black circle. "BUCKS STANDS UP" written in uppercase and in black reads to the right of it and extends to the true middle of the image, which is satisfying design if I do say so myself.

Join us on Wednesday 9/17 to urge the UN to pass a Uniting for Peace Resolution with actions for countries to take against Israel. This Thursday, 9/18, is the deadline given by the UN to Israel pass to end their occupation and apartheid or face further consequences (More info/actions below!).
On a warm beige colored background, the text at the very top, in a neutral dark brown shade declares "END THE GENOCIDE" Underneath it in a slightly smaller font the text reads "URGE THE UN TO PASS A UNITING FOR PEACE RESOLUTION!" To the left under the main text it reads that it's on"Wednesday 9/17" at "5:30-6:30pm, Court & Main" in "Doylestown" and that " Mask required!" Underneath that is the Sudanese flag and the Congolese flag. Flanking this paragraph to the right is a large image of the Palestinian flag, underneath that is the Bucks Stands Up logo with the outline of Bucks County in white overlaid on a black circle, painting the raised fist in black. The text "Bucks Stands Up" lies to the right of it. Under that, the ending note exclaims "Fight until we're all free!"

For those asking how the U.S. “got here”… much of the world has always known us this way. From Guatemala to Chile, Haiti to Honduras, our government helped topple democracies and destabilize nations for decades.

We can’t undo the past, but we can steer our future out of this pattern of carnage! 🙏🏼
A map of Latin America highlighting U.S.-backed right-wing military coups, with each country labeled and paired with the year(s) of intervention: • Cuba — 1952 • Guatemala — 1954 • El Salvador — 1980 • Honduras — 2009 • Nicaragua — 1980s • Panama — 1989 • Haiti — 1959, 2004 • Peru — 1962, 1975 • Dominican Republic — 1965 • Venezuela — 2002 • Bolivia — 1980s • Paraguay — 1954 • Brazil — 1964 • Chile — 1973 • Argentina — 1976 • Uruguay — 1973 Title on top reads: “U.S.-backed right-wing military coups in Latin America”. The countries are marked with small black dots and thin lines connecting the names to their locations on the map.

Israel is violently invading Gaza City in order to steal land in the north of Gaza.

As Israel violently displaces Palestinians from north to south, it’s still blocking food and other necessities, like shelter equipment, from entering Gaza, leaving families homeless & hungry.
We Have No Shelter and No Escape as Israel Prepares to Invade Gaza City
We have no real options: stay in the north and suffer, or flee south and suffer all the same.
