CODEPINK Madison and Allies to Bring "End the Genocide" Demand to ThrowOutTheClowns/No Kings Demonstrations
MADISON, WI – CODEPINK Madison, along with several antiwar and peace organizations, will participate in the upcoming “ThrowOutTheClowns” and “No Kings” demonstrations with a focused call to end the U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza.
While organizers of these protests center their messaging around opposition to fascism and the Trump administration, CODEPINK and its partners are urging demonstrators and the broader public not to ignore the U.S. government’s role in the Israeli-led and U.S.-supported genocide in Gaza and the occupation of Palestine.
“The two main groups organizing these demonstrations have not made room for addressing the U.S. role in the ongoing genocide in Gaza,” said a spokesperson from CODEPINK Madison. “We feel it is critical to add a voice that demands an end to the U.S.-backed genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank.”
CODEPINK and its allies will rally under urgent calls for:
- Unrestricted humanitarian aid to Gaza
- An immediate end to the siege
- A U.S. arms embargo on Israel
- An end to ethnic cleansing
This action is co-organized by: Mennonite Action Madison, Madison-Rafah Sister City Project, Jewish Voice for Peace, Interfaith Peace Working Group, and Veterans for Peace.
