Burlington Rally and March on Palestinian Land Day 03/30/2024

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.
