Westchester residents: please sign this statement in support of the hunger striking Palestinian Prisoners: goo.gl/forms/HZmKDfN8zBllRrMO2
Dignitystrike36
This page is dedicated to supporting over 1500 Palestinians on hunger strike to demand their basic rights inside Israeli prisons.
WESPAC stands in support of our Ramapough Lunaape Nation sisters and brothers. The Ramapough and their supporters have a right to peacefully gather for prayer and education. In the words of Owl, an advisor and member of the Ramapough Nation, “It is the pollution of our rivers and lakes that will cause irreparable harm, not a teepee or tent.”
Please continue to write letters of support and make calls to the Mayor of Mahwah and the Town Board (see below) and respectfully ask that they recognize that Split Rock Sweetwater Prayer Camp is on Ramapough territory and rescind all fines.
Please send comments to:
Mayor William C. Laforet

This was the opening poem of the Westchester Social Forum composed by Doug DeCandia and recited by our elder Baba Surya Peterson:
-------Green Again-------
Centuries of apology
cannot
relieve
the theft,
That imperial hands
still commit
upon bodies and
the land.
Trust and treaties are broken,
uprooted,
and the dark,
beautiful ground left bare.
This conquest
needs us
to
forget.
But truth is planted like seeds
within our chest,
and the full moon
pulls at us,
Encouraging our wings to open,
to rise
and cover the earth
with green again.
