StandWithUs Northwest, the American Jewish Committee and the Israeli American Council invite the community to rally for release of the hostages being held in Gaza and to show solidarity with Israel. Bring your family and friends to raise awareness of the plight of the hostages.
We are gathering to send the following messages:
- We call for the release of all hostages being held in Gaza.
- Israel must defend itself against Hamas terror.
- We call on the people of Seattle, Washington State, and the world to support. Israel and stand against the targeting of civilians.
This is a peaceful rally. Please be respectful to passersby and avoid responding to provocations. This event will be held in coordination with the Seattle Police Department to ensure everyone's safety.
If you have them, bring signs and U.S. and Israeli flags. We will have a limited supply of signs and flags for your use. Printable rally signs are available in the StandWithUs Situation Room (at the link below).
Please arrive early to ensure parking, as there is a Seahawks game 1:05 p.m. at Lumen Field, four blocks south of Occidental Square. As a general rule, street parking is free in Seattle on Sundays.
