Community Encampment for Palestine: Cambridge

Sat August 24 @ 10:00 am - Sun August 25 @ 3:00 pm EDT

Free

We invite you to join us in our Community Encampment for Palestine and continue to advocate for justice. As the genocidal war rages on against Gaza, we are grieving, outraged and shocked by the ongoing U.S-backed Israeli atrocities.

Earlier this year, powerful and peaceful Student Encampments were established – to demand a permanent ceasefire, institutional divestment from Israel, end to Israeli apartheid, release of Palestinian prisoners, and support for student protestors. We are disgusted that many of these encampments were violently destroyed by police in riot gear, following orders from university administrators.

The bravery of these students and the power, courage and determination of the Palestinian people, will be honored in our second in a series of weekend community encampments that began in Salem. Join us in continuing and celebrating resistance in the face of injustice! The schedule includes speakers, discussions, poetry, photojournalism, children’s activities, kite flying, Palestinian food, and a screening of The Night Won’t End: Biden’s War on Gaza.

Sign Up

It will cost $1500 to put on the encampment.  Your donations are much appreciated and tax-deductible!

We need your help to make this a success. Please sign-up to attend and volunteer! 

Sponsored by MAPA Education Fund, North Shore for Palestine, JVP Boston, Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine, Boston Coalition for Palestine, Palestinian House of New England, Doctors Against Genocide, Unitarian Universalists for Justice in the Middle East, Veterans for Peace, and Watertown Citizens for Peace, Justice and the Environment, and Peace and Social Justice Committee of Friends Meeting in Cambridge.
