No Business As Usual: Boycott Genocide, Friday, May 31, 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM, Paul Bunyan Statue, 519 Main Street,Bangor, ME (map) - On Friday May 31st, members from several organizations will engage in a standout outside the Democratic Convention in Bangor, ME to call out the Democratic Party for their complicity with Israel’s genocide in Palestine.

As we witness the ongoing assault in Rafah, which has been condemned and ordered to stop by the International Court of Justice, Democrats continue to send weapons and facilitate this onslaught, which has led to the deaths of over 35,000 Palestinians. Despite Joe Biden saying he would halt “offensive” weapons and despite deeming the invasion of Rafah a “red line,” he has authorized billions more in weapons shipments used to massacre Palestinian civilians.

We will be meeting at 5 PM by the Paul Bunyan Statue outside the Cross Insurance Center, where we will expect to standout, distribute educational materials, and appeal to the Democratic delegates to support us in calling for an end to this genocide. Free Palestine!
