Dear Friends,

I am writing to some of you for the first time and to others with new information about the American Association for Palestinian Equal Rights (AAPER).  They have asked me (along with Paige Austin of the Kennedy School at Harvard) to help coordinate a Silent March in Boston on October 10 to call attention to the injustices faced by the Palestinian people.    We need all of the help we can get…and that means people who would commit to walking with us.

Start: 10:00 am
End: 2:00 pm

10:30am Bus will start the tour

2:pm the tour will end – at the ACORN office
