Community Encampment for Palestine – Lynn

Sat September 28 @ 10:00 am - 10:00 pm EDT

Sponsored by Northshore 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, Diverse People United – Lynn, MA, and Massachusetts Peace Action Education Fund.

We, the CEP Organizing Team and the above co-sponsoring organizations, invite you to join us for the upcoming Community Encampment for Palestine, to take place in Lynn, Massachusetts, on Saturday, 28th September, 2024. This will be our third Community Encampment following the extremely successful Salem, MA, and Cambridge, MA, previous encampments. These were launched as a joint effort by several Massachusetts-based, pro-Palestine organizations to provide an avenue for the broader community to stand with the brave student protesters in demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the end of U.S complicity in the genocide of the Palestinian people. Please consider donating to support the Lynn Community Encampment.

Join other people of conscience from around Massachusetts to gather in Lynn, MA on Saturday, September 28th from 10am to 10pm at the Lynn Commons, as we show solidarity with Palestinians living under Israeli Bombardment in Gaza. The Lynn Community Encampment for Palestine will provide a welcoming space for people to learn about the genocide and crimes against humanity currently going on in Gaza and the West Bank. This will be a full day event, with opportunities for education, action, mourning, and a celebration of the resilience of Palestinians everywhere.

Donate

We would love to see you there. If you are able to, please consider donating to support the Lynn Community Encampment.

These encampments are designed to support all student protesters and to educate and bring the broader Massachusetts community into the fight for our demands which include:

  • An immediate and permanent ceasefire
  • Lift the siege on Gaza
  • Allow unlimited humanitarian and medical aid to Gaza
  • Ending American support for the Genocide of Palestinians
  • Divest from Israel and war industries, corporations, and stocks
  • End the Occupation and Israeli Apartheid   

The Community Encampment for Palestine (CEP) organizing team is looking for supporters, speakers, entertainers, and collaboration with people that may already be involved with or familiar with the City of Lynn.

DonateOur Salem, MA & Cambridge, MA encampments were extremely successful, and we would like to make Lynn just as successful and need your help and support!

Regards,

The CEP Organizing Team
