We had a rally for Palestinians at the Federal Building in Columbus, OH on Friday, April 5. That rally attracted about 400 people, larger than a pro-Israel rally on the same day, to which about 300 came (according to our local newspapers).
On Tuesday, April 9, we had a commemoration of the Deir Yassin massacre, which about 100 activists attended.
On Friday, April 12, we had another rally for Palestinians in front of the Statehouse -- about 200 came.
Tomorrow (Wednesday, April 17), to counter the celebration of Israel held by the local Israel Action Committee, we'll be having yet another rally as well -- this time on the Oval of the Ohio State university. 2-3 PM.
My co-organizers and I chartered a 49-seat bus to join the A20 action, and we'll be arriving in DC around 8 a.m. on the 20th. CAIR-Ohio will be sending at least two vans to A21-22. Local SOA Watch activists will be sending a van or two to the mobilization on Plan Columbia. Others are driving themselves or car-pooling or flying in. -- Yoshie
