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

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.”
