Friends from Concord Friends Meeting will gather weekly for a Solemn Vigil (similar to the Dover vigils) for a permanent ceasefire between Israel and Palestinians in Gaza. Thursdays, noon-1pm: CITY PLAZA, Concord.
🔻JOIN US THIS THURSDAY AT UNH TO DEMAND DIVESTMENT 🗓️ Thursday, October 10th⏰ 4:30 pm📍Thompson Hall Lawn, UNH Durham
Join us for a rally + die-in at 4:30 pm on Thompson hall Lawn as we continue the Week of Rage. Wear red, bring signs, and symbolically die-in on campus to refuse complicity. Wear masks and bloc up if you can.
One year of genocide. One year of lives destroyed, children martyred, and entire cities leveled. One year of the entire world turning the other cheek to the incredible suffering that they see on their screens. One year of Israel’s military colonizing land that was never theirs and uprooting entire families. After one year of indescribable horrors, we feel grief and rage! The world has demonstrated time and time again that they are willing to allow the dehumanization, starvation, and decimation of the Palestinian people.
Now more than ever is it imperative that we come together as a community to refuse this narrative. UNH has shown that investing + financially gaining off of genocide is a permissible practice as long as it makes the University profits. Show our administration that their money is BLOOD MONEY and has real world consequences.
We will not stop, we will not rest, UNH Divest! Long live the student intifada!
Our demands continue to remain as such:
• We call for an immediate divestment from weapon manufacturers and corporations complicit in supplying arms to Isarel and profiting from the genocide in Gaza.
• We call for immediate divestment from Israeli corporations that are continuing to benefit from the genocide and apartheid in occupied Palestine.
• We demand accountability from UNH administration that have turned a blind eye to genocide and apartheid, and the rights of their students to protest.
• We demand UNH cut ties with weapon manufacturers and stand in solidarity with an immediate and permanent ceasefire.
