Why: Come join in on the planning and 
implementation of the next Ad-Hoc Coalition mass 
mobilizing action which will be held at the end 
of August.  Building on the meeting held on 
August 2, 2006 at Alwan Cultural Center, the 
established working groups: Program, Logistics, 
Media and Outreach will meet to work out the details for the planned action.

The Ad hoc Coalition For Justice in the Middle 
East is a grassroots democratic effort to help 
initiate and coordinate actions and events to 
build a stronger and larger movement in 
solidarity with the Palestinian and Lebanese 
people under attack by Israel. So far we have 
made a small but important contribution to this 
movement by organizing demonstrations at the 
Israeli consulate and the UN, petitions to the UN 
Secretary General, a panel discussion, a march 
across the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday July 29 
and an emergency protest on July 31 against the 
Qana massacre. The ad hoc coalition is currently 
composed of: National Council of Arab-Americans - 
NYC, ANSWER Coalition, International Action 
Center, Network of Arab-American Professionals of 
NY-PC, the International Solidarity Movement - 
NYC, the New York Campaign for Boycott, 
Divestment, and Sanctions, the International 
Socialist Organization, the American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee.

We hope that you will join us in our efforts to 
raise awareness on the Israeli attacks on 
Palestine and Lebanon and demand justice in the Middle East.
