Burlingtonians gather in response to a possible ballot measure calling for an end to “Israel’s apartheid regime, settler colonialism and military occupation” that could be on Burlington’s Tballot in 2025. The ballot measure is identical to one that was proposed in January when councilors voted to not place it on the 2024 ballot.

From the organizers:

Join us in demanding that city council respect democracy and place the apartheid-free community pledge on the Town Meeting Day ballot and join us in Contois to speak during public comment. Let's make our voices heard. 

From VAAPVT and AALV:
