On October 24, at a free charity concert by the punk band Turnstile near the Washington Monument in the U.S. capital, more than 25,000 people joined powerful chants of "Free Palestine". The band turned their performance into an act of solidarity with the Palestinian people. The concert, co-organized with the charity organization Human Concern International, drew about 60,000 spectators. As of October 25, over $209,000 had been raised as part of the event – aiming for $250,000. The funds to be distributed will be divided equally among humanitarian missions in Palestine, Sudan and Lebanon. The money will be used to provide needy families with food, water, medical care and shelter.
