Description
From the organizers:
Israel stands poised to invade Rafah and complete the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. The apartheid regime has ordered the evacuation of over 100,000 people and is bombing whole sections of the city. It has refused a ceasefire and seems on the edge of committing the worst atrocity yet in its genocidal war.
Join us for an emergency rally at Burlington’s City Hall on Tuesday at 5:30pm. People who cannot make the rally and march in Burlington should call an action in their city or town.
In Burlington, we will have a few speakers and then march up to UVM’s encampment to support the students’ struggle. They have already won partial disclosure of UVM’s investments and the cancellation of the war criminal Linda Thomas-Greenfield from speaking at commencement.
They are still fighting for UVM to divest from Israel, implement an academic boycott of Israeli universities, and grant full amnesty to student protestors who have been unjustly targeted with disciplinary charges.
Join the rally in Burlington, bring signs and banners, and most importantly bring all your friends and co-workers. People who can’t make the march, join us at the encampment at 6:15. Free, free Palestine!
