ACTION CASH has arrived! (Zatoun)
Via Zatoun, Canada.
Something we can do right now! It is quick, easy and legal, maybe even FUN (much needed)!
Money speaks: Bring Palestine to the cash register with "ACTION CASH"
More and more, we are driven to greater action because our political leaders and public institutions are blind, deaf and dumb to murder in Gaza. And also because it is getting worse with premeditated starvation of its people.
You are invited to be part of a direct action that is easy, legal and impactful. The action involves using the money in your pocket and give it a voice for Palestine:
1. Using your paper money ($5, $10, $20, etc. bills) write a message with a thicker felt marker (message samples below).
2. When shopping, use ACTION CASH to pay for goods and services. Tested in multiple supermarkets, gas stations, coffee shops, nobody has questioned receipt of ACTION CASH. Hand over cash with message face up so that the cashier can see it.
About ACTION CASH
