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.

Depends on what your focus is, there’s a plethora of things weekly. We’ve been sharing a lot of things via your IG stories instagram.com/burghprotests just to cut down on a few local things that have happened throughout the years sharing on the day of. A few flyers will be below, no specific order.
‘DABKE FESTIVAL’ THE KINGSLEY ASSOCIATION SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 27 2025 DOORS @ 6PM LESSON @ 7PM HAFLA & DABKE UNTIL LATE SUGGESTED DONATION: $15-$30 DETAILS: THE EVENING WILL FEATURE A DABKE LESSON (LEVANTINE LINE DANCE), HAFLA (CELEBRATION OF SOMEONE OR SOMETHING DESERVING OF CARE AND ATTENTION), FOOD FROM KHALIL'S, LULÁ' LA CHULA, FOOD NOT BOMBS, AND RICE DISTRO, CHAI FROM KARAVANSARI, LIVE MUSIC BY MOE NASSER & HIS BAND, A DJ, & SO MUCH MORE! DONATIONS WILL BENEFIT FAMILIES IN GAZA. ‘SUMUD FLOTILLA SOLDARITY MARCH’ SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 21 12PM (NOON) - 2PM START: MONONGAHELA WHARF LANDING - END MISTER ROGERS STATUE DETAILS: WHARF PARKING CLOSED SUNDAY; TRY WOOD-ALLIES GARAGE OR FIRST AVENUE. BREAK THE SILENCE ‘WHEN PALESTINE CALLS, PITTSBURGH ANSWERS’ SCHENLEY PLAZA SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 20 2025 6:30PM ‘JOIN US FOR A CONSUMER BOYCOTT AT TRADER JOE'S’ EVERY SATURDAY (SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 20 2025) PENN AVE EAST LIBERTY DETAILS: BY STOCKING ISRAELI PRODUCTS, TRADER JOE'S SUPPORTS A SYSTEM THAT PERPETUATES SUFFERING. NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT. TELL TRADER JOE'S TO STOP CARRYING ISRAELI PRODUCTS. Pittsburgh's so-called "Al Avenue" is being branded as the heart of an Al revolution. But we've redubbed it “Apartheid Israel Ave" to protest the role of artificial intelligence in the genocide of Palestinians and the complicity of companies along this corridor in supporting Israel's apartheid infrastructure. As Israel continues its genocide in Gaza, a new wave of solidarity with the Indigenous Palestinian people is spreading around the world. The movement to boycott, divest from, & sanction Israel is the most effective way to turn solidarity into impact. We know that consumer boycotts are most effective when taken as a collective action.

UPDATE: False alarm fortunately. A volunteer with Casa San Jose messaged us & let us know their team had been canvassing and it seems that someone misidentified a Millvale cop last Night.

“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.
