*Take Action: DIRECTV Censors Our Gaza Strip TV Ad!*

to a generous emergency grant from Cultures of
Resistance<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=m%2Bn7g9dPZaOJEJnd35C%2FF7DRtHxQBoQf>,
we produced a 30-second commercial about the U.S. role in Israel's war on
and siege of the Gaza Strip.

We thought, "What better way to bring this important information to the
attention of people in the United States than to advertise nationally on
DIRECTV?" the largest satellite television subscription service in the
country.

After detailed discussions with DIRECTV, including agreement on rates,
times, and network placements of the ad, when we gave them the final
product, they abruptly decided not to do business with us.

This blatant act of censorship is preventing millions of U.S. households
from learning the truth about our government's crucial role in enabling
Israel's war on and siege of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
