On the first of October, protesters gathered at Orlando City Hall to begin a week of actions culminating on Oct 7 for Palestine. Speakers informed the media about the horrific genocide at Israel’s hands, the well over ten thousand prisoners (HOSTAGES!) taken by the IOF, and the current escalation of the war to Lebanon, Syria, and Iran.

A reporter asked if protesters were concerned about the danger posed to protesters at Saturday’s (Oct 5) event by the Orlando Police Department, and was told activists most certainly are. The brutal behavior of the Orlando Police Department including the violent assaults of May 11 and Sep 21 was discussed, along with the harassment protesters have received all year.
