Join Vermonters from across the state to protest the U.S. government’s support for Israel’s ongoing bombardment of Gaza and to call for an immediate, permanent, and lasting ceasefire that lays the foundation for Palestinian liberation. The agenda includes speakers, music, and poetry. The demonstration is organized by the Vermont Coalition for Palestinian Liberation, with at least eight local organizations endorsing the event.
