This is a fundraiser event for a special U.S. convoy, which will travel from New York City to Egypt before making its way across the Rafah border into Gaza in order to deliver humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza.
Fresh from the success of the Viva Palestina: Lifeline from Britain to Gaza aid convoy - which took over 100 vehicles to Gaza from the UK, Member of Parliament - George Galloway has linked up on his .U.S tour with the Vietnam veteran and peace campaigner Ron Kovic to launch a similar, but even larger venture from the United States.
The June 28th program featuring George Galloway will also include Mahdi Bray, Executive Director of Muslim American Society Freedom; Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, attorney and co-founder of the Partnership for Civil Justice, and member of the ANSWER Coalition Steering Committee; video footage; and several poets and spoken word artists.
