July 2 fundraiser event in Overland Park features Galloway and Mahdi Bray

Citizens for Justice in the Middle East and Muslim American Society Freedom invite you to attend the George Galloway lecture in Kansas City on July 2nd. Come support the Viva Palestina campaign.

 Largest event of its type in Kansas or Missouri -- ever

FUNDRAISER WAS HUGELY SUCCESSFUL! Participants at the July 2 "Viva Palestina" fundraising event pledged $103,000 for medical relief for Palestinians in Gaza. This generous sum is the largest grassroots fundraising effort for Palestinians in Kansas or Missouri - ever.

Mr. George Galloway, British member of parliament, gave a much-anticipated speech to a capacity crowd of 300 at the Overland Park Marriott. Credit for the large amount raised goes to Galloway for his convincing appeal for direct relief to Palestinians in Gaza. Members of Kansas City's Muslim and Arab-American community, as well as many other residents responded generously.

The amount raised will ensure that six trucks representing Kansas and Missouri, will be purchased in Egypt and driven to Gaza, joining with hundreds of other relief vehicles donated by generous Americans from all across the United States. Three Kansas City audience members will journey to Egypt to drive the vehicles in a convoy flying US flags and state and organizational banners to begin a two-week stay in Gaza. Galloway mentioned that his three-month tour of US cities raised $2 million.
