Rally to Divest MA from Genocide, Fri September 19 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT

Join us on September 19, in front of the Massachusetts State House to raise our voices against Israel’s decision to erase the very idea of a Palestine and to “put another nail in the coffin” of this hope. It’s time for Massachusetts to end its investments in the merchants of death who are profiting from this mass murder and starvation being carried on in front of the world.

Time to get the word out that our divestment bill is about to be voted on by the
Legislature

  • We will thank the legislators on the Public Service Committee for meeting with us over
    the past 3 months and for engaging with us in serious conversation about the horror in
    Gaza and why our bill could play a role in the effort to prevent the annihilation of
    Palestinians.

  • We will point out that our bill provides the Legislature to with an opportunity to make a
    courageous statement on the moral issue of our time.

  • A positive vote means that our bill moves on to the next stage in the legislative process.
    Without a positive vote our bill dies.
