Global Solidarity Strike Demands Ceasefire and Justice for Palestine
TL;DR
Over 200 businesses and schools in the Chicagoland area have gone on strike to raise awareness about the thousands of Palestinians killed in the ongoing conflict with Israel. The strike, organized by the Chicago Coalition for Justice in Palestine, aims to pressure governments to call for a ceasefire and support the Palestinian cause. Supporters are urged to avoid spending and participating businesses include Haraz Coffee House and The Nut House USA. The strike comes after the US vetoed a UN resolution for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
