“St. Patrick’s Day is a Holy Day in Chicago. There’s no more important place to be than old St. Patrick’s [Church]”

- Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) , recipient of $1.1 million from AIPAC

While we don’t agree with Durbin on much, we do agree that there is no more important place to be in Chicago the morning of Sat 3/14. The steps of Old St. Pat’s after mass is a veritable Who’s Who of Zionist politicians. From IL State Treasurer Michael Frerichs, to Irish Minister of Housing, Local Government and Heritage James Browne, there is no shortage of people whose complicity in genocide needs to be challenged.

And while we find the presence of so many butchers more holy desecration than consecration, we hope to provide an alternative vision of what authentic connection can look like, absent domination and exploitation. Join us for a People’s Cultural Gathering across the street at Heritage Green Park at 9 am. Whether you are a musician, dancer, poet, or athlete, no matter your heritage or tradition, we welcome you to come share your art to uplift the truly holy message of solidarity and liberation. For Palestine, for Iran, for Ireland, for Turtle Island, and for The World.
