No War With Iran - Rally at the JFK Federal Building
On June 20, President Trump ordered an illegal and unconstitutional attack on Iran, for which there is no justification. Join us at the JFK Federal Building (Cambridge Street entrance) this Thursday, June 26 at 12pm to demand a return to diplomacy, no further military strikes; a full congressional investigation and public accounting; a complete rejection of this war; and a ceasefire in Gaza.
On June 23rd, 10 days after the start of the unprovoked and illegal US-backed Israeli aggression against Iran, President Trump announced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. While we hope that this fragile ceasefire holds, our recent experience with Israel’s numerous ceasefire violations in Gaza and Lebanon makes us fear that it may not. We continue to push to prevent the U.S. from getting involved in an all-out regional war. Congress must act now and pass the Iran War Powers resolutions filed by Sen. Kaine and Reps. Massie and Khanna to prevent further US military action and to demand accountability for President Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional strikes on Iran, and cut off U.S. arms shipments to Israel.
Join National Iranian American Council, Arise & Resist Coalition, Boston Coalition for Palestine, MAPA, JVP, INN, and many more groups at noon on Thursday at the JFK Federal building (the Cambridge St entrance) to hear from experts like Stephen Kinzer and Joseph Gerson, faith leaders, lawmakers, members of the Iranian-American and Palestinian-American communities, and other anti war voieces reject Trump’s illegal intervention in this war.
This is the third in a series of Boston area rallies to stop war with Iran. We rallied on June 13 to protest Israel’s attack on Iran the previous night, and on June 22 to protest the US attack on Iran the previous night. Sign up to let us know you’ll be there and to be notified of upcoming actions.
