 On the side of the Saudi embassy, they're going to end US weapon sales to Saudi Arabia, they're going to end the war on Yemen. Saudi Arabia has been targeting civilians. Most recently, there was a bomb that was dropped in the school bus, killing 40 children and injuring more. Numbers, these bombs are targeting schools, school buses, markets, hospitals. Many of our communities are dying and even more face starvation because it has become the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. While they were on their summer vacation and these blue backpacks were the backpacks that the children were wearing when they were on the bus and you might have seen the pictures of the bloody children screaming with the backpacks still on. That's why they become a symbol now of the Saudi children of the innocent civilians who have been killed, the Yemeni children who have been killed by the Saudi bombing. So we're here because just today, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo certified that the Saudis were doing everything in their power to protect civilians and that the US should continue to collaborate with Saudi Arabia because they were complying and trying to bring this war to an end. And Secretary of Defense James Mattis echoed the statement of Mike Pompeo saying, yes, we will continue to work with the Saudis and meanwhile the deaths amount just two weeks after this August night bombing that left 44 children dead, there was another bombing that left 21 children dead and the media didn't talk about that one. So these bombings are happening all the time and civilians are being killed all the time. And so we wanted to bring the responsibility for these dead children and the bloody backpacks right to the doorstep of the Saudi embassy. So let's put the packs on their steps recognizing they are the ones responsible for what happened. The Saudis are the ones responsible for what happened. The responsibility lies with the people in here. They can take the backpacks away. These backpacks represent dead children. Think about that. They represent children who are died because of the Saudi bombing campaign and the blood is on the hands of the people in this embassy. The names of all of the children that were killed in that bus bombing. Mohamed Yahya, Yahya Faya, killed 11 years old. Zechariah Abdul Wahab, Ali Faya, killed 10 years old.

We have four children and people wounded in that attack. So, let's just take a moment and just sit in silence. For justice and... Violence International in Code Pink. All in the Saudi government to stop its war on Yemen. We're calling on the United States to stop supporting this war on the people of Yemen. It's a civil war. We are not here taking sides in the civil war in Yemen, except for the sides of the people of Yemen who are being targeted by all sides. One of the problems we have here, why we're out here today, is because the Saudis and the United Arab Emirates and their allies are using American weapons and very powerful weapons to target civilians and civilian infrastructure on a massive scale, causing enormous suffering and making the civil war an hatred between Yemenis and Saudis worse. This is not a sustainable solution for the people of Yemen or for the people of Saudi Arabia. You're not going to bomb your way to peace with your neighbors. We call on the United States government and the Saudi government to stop immediately the war, have a ceasefire immediately, and to negotiate in good faith for an end to the slaughter and an end to the civil war. We know that the basis of all faith traditions is nonviolence, nonviolence, not the building of missiles and bombs and drones, not the teaching of our young people, reflexive killing in high schools and in colleges, religious colleges as well. What we want for our children is a life full of flourishing, of gentleness, of joy and dignity. What we want is community on Holy Mother Earth. Amen. Think about the people who work inside this building, police watching out for the people inside the building instead of turning around to watch out for us, the nonviolent peacemakers. If we could think about the people in the White House who only care about the money they're getting from the Saudi weapons sales, if we could think about the politician, most of whom, unfortunately, take money from the weapons manufacturers for their campaigns, don't say very much about the destruction in Yemen or the repression in Saudi Arabia. And while we're here thinking about all the people who are dying in this war, let's also remember that within Saudi Arabia, there are people who are on death row for doing exactly the kind of thing that we are doing here, or less. There are people on death row, a woman on death row who advocates for equality for women and against the repressive guardianship system. There are women in jail who did civil disobedience by getting behind the wheel of a car and driving that car. And now where the Crown Prince takes credit for, quote, giving women the right to drive, these women who fought for the right to drive are in prison. And let's remember that in the whole eastern province of Saudi Arabia, where the minority Shia community live, they are constantly under repression. And leaders of that community have been murdered by the Saudi regime, like Sheikh El-Nimer. Or are on death row some of them arrested when they were teenagers, juveniles on death row for advocating nonviolently for the rights of the minority Shia community. So the fact that the United States government has been in bed with the Saudi regime, not just under the crazy Trump administration, but under that all so wonderful Obama administration, and under the Bush administration before that and the Clinton administration before that, it's been a nonpartisan thing, making common cause with one of the only absolute monarchies left in the world because they have oil, because they have money, because they buy our weapons. And the bombing of the school bus is just one manifestation of that horrific alliance that has gone on for way too long. So I think unless there's anybody who wants to speak, is there anybody who wants to speak? What we're going to do is do some photos with the big banner that we have and end our protest with a commemoration of these children.
