Each March 30th, Palestinians mark Land Day, recalling how in 1976 Israel announced plans to confiscate thousands of dunams of Palestinian land in the Galilee. This led to protests across Palestine, and on March 30, 1976, Israeli police killed six Palestinian citizens of Israel and injured and arrested many others. The occasion has come to exemplify the steadfastness of Palestinian resistance to colonization of their land.

On Saturday, March 30, at 2:00 p.m, a coalition in Seattle invites us to gather at Lake Union Park for a march and rally. Organizers are calling on all people of conscience, across Coast Salish lands, across the Pacific Northwest, and beyond, to march in honor of those who fought and continue to struggle for a free Palestine.
