A rally in support of Palestinians drew a crowd of about 200 at Cal Anderson Park Friday evening. The ANSWER Coalition helped to organize the demonstration.
Clarissa Perez spoke at that event. She's been talking to her friend, Karam, about what's been happening in Gaza. She said he didn't know whether he was going to make it to safety, and she hadn't heard from him since Thursday evening.
"He is a phenomenal human being, very sharp, very smart, so our favorite teacher was the same one, so we spent a lot of time together," said Perez. "We have actually been in contact every day, since the attack that Hamas happened.""He told me that everything was going to be cut off last night when he messaged me," said Perez.
Friday the ANSWER Coalition rallied in support of Palestine, the group calling for an end to US aid to Israel. The coalition did not directly address any specific atrocities committed in the Hamas attacks on Israel, but they did say they supported the resistance to Israeli occupation.
