3/20 (in person, Burlington VT) 12:45pm - Rally @ the Univ of Vermont: Release Mahmoud Khalil! ICE Off Our Campuses! Stop the Genocide!

March 20, 12:45 PM EDT - in person at the Univ of Vermont Howe Library Steps, Burlington VT

Release Mahmoud Khalil! Hands Off Our Students! ICE Off Our Campuses! Stop the Genocide!

With rage in our hearts, our protest this Thursday is now in response to the occupation’s massacre of over 400 people in Gaza, including at least 172 children, using US-made weapons. The Zionist entity has unilaterally ended the ceasefire following hundreds of violations by the IOF since its implementation, and is returning to its all-out extermination attempt against the Palestinian people.

Our organized action and resistance is more critical than ever. When Israel’s genocide first expanded on October 7th 2023, we took to the streets. Since then, the US government and Zionist lobby have worked to erode all institutions and norms that stand in the way of their ability to commit genocide, from international law, to the legal frameworks of human rights, to the corporate media and its lurching shift into further compliance with the US empire’s narratives.

Now, they are seeking to repress our movement and our organizers, for one simple reason: we are the last line of defense within the imperial core. But unlike the liberal institutions and politicians that have capitulated to Trump and the far-right, we will never yield. We will fight for Palestine, the front line of resistance against global US-led fascism, until the world is free. There is no other option.

ALL OUT FOR GAZA! ALL OUT FOR MAHMOUD! ARMS EMBARGO NOW! HANDS OFF OUR STUDENTS!
