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.

Hands off Rafah! Emergency Rally and March 05/07/2024

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!

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.

Burlington Millions March for Palestine 03/02/2024

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.”

Rally and March for Gaza 01/20/2024

Now more than ever, we must unite to stop Israel’s war and stand with Palestinians in the struggle for liberation from Israeli occupation, siege, and apartheid.

Demands:

  • Ceasefire now
  • Stop Israel’s genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians
  • Provide unrestricted humanitarian aid to all Palestinians
  • Free all Palestinian prisoners and hostages
  • Defend the civil rights of Palestinians and Palestine solidarity activists
  • Stop all U.S. aid to Israel

Protect Palestinian Children Organization Asks Senator Sanders for Ceasefire in Gaza 12/04/2023

From the organizers, Protect Palestinian Children:

On Monday, Dec. 4, at 1pm, members of the group Protect Palestinian Children risk arrest by mounting a double ladder to reach Bernie Sanders' office and hanging signs from his windows. As many as 5000 children have been killed, including infants and small children, since Oct. 7. That is the main and most important fact.

Additionally, our group seeks a commitment from the senator to: 1. Publically oppose U.S. arming Israel as it commits a genocide and war crimes against civilians; 2. Immediately cease bombing, and in any way harming, civilians and infrastructure; 3. Begin the process of peace negotiations to resolve differences between warring factions, including, finally, justice for Palestinians which recognizes the loss of their ancestral lands; 4. On a global scale, begin to advocate for a policy of ceasefire first, followed by non-politicized and genuine peaceful resolution of differences (negotiations) in the various U.S. wars and U.S. proxy wars across the globe in which civilian lives and infrastructure are routinely destroyed; and 5. Redirect our tax money from war to the health and education of poor and working families in the U.S.
