From Student Revolt to Workers’ Power: Strategies to Defeat US Imperialism and Free Palestine 05/09/2024

From the organizers:

Students have re-galvanized the movement against Israel’s genocidal war on Palestine. But their encampments are up against the intransigent opposition of university administrations, their corporate funders, and both capitalist parties, which have backed brutal repression on campus activists across the country.

The question posed to our movement is who has the social power to force universities--and behind them the US capitalist class--to concede to our demands? Join the Tempest Collective for a presentation by UVM professor Helen Scott on why the Palestine solidarity struggle must merge with the labor movement to defeat US imperialism.

From Vermont Coalition for Palestinian Liberation:

Stop Israel’s Genocidal War Now! Make Vermont Apartheid Free! Free Palestine!

Join us on Palestinian Land Day in Burlington to rally and march against Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. Israel has killed over 32,000 people, obliterated entire cities, driven two million Palestinians from their homes, blocked humanitarian aid, and caused a famine that threatens to starve one million people to death. It stands poised to invade Rafah and complete its ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

The Biden administration has supported, funded, and armed Israel’s genocide. Unite to stop Israel’s war! Stand with Palestinians in their struggle for liberation! Join the campaign to get Vermont’s cities, organizations, unions, and faith groups to adopt the Apartheid Free Pledge.
