Lowe’s Home Improvement

This weekend people across the country will be standing up against bigotry and hatred as the “Boycott Lowe’s” Campaign goes from tweets to the streets. The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) endorses the “Boycott Lowe’s” Campaign, organized by the National Lowe’s Boycott Network, and encourages members across the country to get involved with the campaign and make their voices heard!

Organized protests in front of Lowe’s locations across the country are only a start of many actions targeted at fighting bigotry and hate.

The National Lowe’s Boycott Network is a grassroots effort and campaign started by activists across the country in wake of the Lowe’s decision to pull advertising from the TLC show “All-American Muslim” as a direct response to pressure from the Florida Family Association’s bigoted campaign. Those involved in the Network come from a broad spectrum of religious, ethnic and professional backgrounds – one thing they do have in common is their united stand against hate and bigotry.

Dear Friends,

Since we’re all anxious to see A JUST PEACE come to Palestinians and Israelis during these difficult times, we want to take this opportunity to urge you TO SIGN UP for all—or at least part of the upcoming gathering called “MOVE OVER AIPAC”, which will take place from MAY 21-24 in Washington DC. You can be a part of this historic happening for as little as $20!  But you must sign up! More than 100 organizations have endorsed this event being organized by CODEPINKA, including ADC-DC.

Just look at the standout speaker-and-panelist lineup for the “MOVE OVER AIPAC” SUMMIT CONFERENCE ON MAY 21: Professors JOHN MEARSHEIMER AND STEPHEN WALT, authors of the game-changing book, THE ISRAEL LOBBY, which exposed AIPAC—The American Israel Public Affairs Committee—for its gigantic influence in getting our Congress to blindly take the “Israel-right-or-wrong” point of view as it enacts vital legislation framing our pro-Israel policy in the Middle East; and the incomparable ANNA BALTZER, Jewish-American author and Fulbright scholar who exemplifies the rising generation of savvy American Jews liberated from wrong-headed world views of the past; hip Palestinian women authors like LAILA EL-HADAD, NOURA EREKAT AND NADIA HIJAB and their equally perceptive and prophetic counterparts in the Jewish community, ANNA BALTZER, PHYLLIS BENNIS, DONNA NEVEL, LIZZY RATNER, DALIT BAUM, AND REBECCA VILKOMERSON. Another standout: distinguished diplomat/author CHARLES W. FREEMAN. And ADC’s ABED AYOUB will speak about Congressional lobbying.

Hey, we’ve only hit the highlights of Day 1! FOR THE WHOLE 4-DAY SCHEDULE OF RALLIES, DEMONSTRATIONS, STREET THEATER AND MORE, climaxed by lobbying on Capitol Hill, please go towww.MoveOverAIPAC.org where you can get the complete schedule and sign-up on line.  Remember, you have to register—though if you show up and pay on Saturday morning you might still get in if space allows.  See you there!!
