Solidarity with Palestine
CSPC’s latest campaign has been organized around calling for an end to the U.S.-backed genocide in Palestine, and for Colorado Springs to divest from the military contractors that make Israel’s abhorrent actions possible.
So far, this campaign has involved…
- Film screenings, art makes, and teach-ins
- Protests, marches, rallies, and pickets
- A Week of Action that ended in a banner drop off Bijou St. bridge
- Writing a ceasefire resolution and pressuring Colorado Springs City Council to pass it
