Some time corrections below in red!
The Viva Palestina convoy has been facing numerous bureaucratic hurdles, red tape and intimidation from the Egyptian government, which you can read about in detail on their website.
There will be support rallies tomorrow, Tuesday 7/14, at Egyptian embassies and consulates in the following cities. So celebrate Bastille Day by helping Viva Palestina put a crack in the walls of the world's largest modern-day prison!
If you live in an inferior city like Los Angeles, or anywhere else outside of protest range, you can call or fax the nearest Egyptian consulate (or all of them!) in support of the convoy. A list of phone and fax numbers for Egyptian facilities in the US can be found here.
