SJN call for Australian participation in Global March to Jerusalem

After participating in Amman conference to organise Global March to Jerusalem, 11 December 2011, the Social Justice Network invites all peace loving activists who opposes the Israeli occupation of Palestine to actively participate in this historical march.

The march is planned to start from different countries around the globe and meet on the borders of Palestine on 30 March 2012, to coincide with the annual anniversary of Palestinian Land Day. Then the participants of the march will progress to the borders demanding their free passage to the holy city of Jerusalem. Under international resolution, Jerusalem is a holy city for all religions and the passage to it should be allowed without any obstacle. Israel occupied the holy city during the war of 1967 and since then it took several steps to change the demographic composition of the city in a bid to claim that it should be the capital of its state.

The main march will be in Jordan. Other points of assembly will be on the borders of Palestine with Syria, Lebanon and Egypt.

It is expected that hundreds of thousands of protestors will participate in the march to oppose the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the demand for international community to enforce Israel to recognize and implement International resolutions.

The network is in the mid of gathering support and endorsement for the Amman Communiqué which outline the objectives of the march. We aim to encourage as many Australians as possible to participate in the march by travelling to Jordan. Special attention will be given to get support of high profile Australians for the march. The network will send representatives to the march.

We started already seeking input of active community members and representatives of human rights and Palestinian rights organization to make the Australian participation both effective and valuable. We first asked them to consider endorsing the objectives of the march by endorsing the Amman Communiqué.

Further information on the march could be found on the website http://gm2j.com

We are in the process of calling for broader meeting of individuals and organisations supporting and active on this important issue. We will keep everyone in the society posted about the outcome of the meeting and the efforts to achieve descent Australian participation in the march.

If further information is needed, I can be contacted on 0404 447 272. You also can access our Facebook of Social Justice Network, the Facebook of Viva Palestina Australia or our website www.socialjustice.net.au

Activists can register their intention to participate or endorse the march by sending email to daoud_j6@yahoo.com.au or on the website www.socialjustice.net.au
