People gather in Winooski on International Working Women's Day to ask for a stop to the genocide in Gaza.

From the Mayor's Office:

Following the adoption of the South End Innovation District, the City of Burlington and partners Ride Your Bike LLC (developers of the HULA site) and Champlain College worked together to prepare an overarching development framework for 13 acres between Lakeside Avenue and Sears Lane. Mayor Weinberger and partners provide a press briefing and site visit to discuss the proposed pre-development agreement that will be before the City Council for approval next week. The Mayor is joined by Samantha Dunn, Assistant Director of Community Works for CEDO, City of Burlington; Meagan Tuttle, Planning Director, City of Burlington; Nic Anderson, Assistant Vice President of Planning and Operations, Champlain College; John Caulo, representing Ride Your Bike LLC; and others.

From the organizers:

Join students, workers, and Vermonters all across the state at City Hall Park to demand an end to Israel’s genocidal war on Palestine!

As Israel and the US threaten Rafah with invasion, it is our responsibility to continue showing up in greater numbers and to show our ruling class that we REFUSE to be intimidated!

In the words of Aaron Bushnell, “Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was commiting genocide?’ The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now.”
