SUMMARY:Block the Bombs Action Hour
DESCRIPTION:Since a ceasefire was announced on Oct 9\, Israel has committed over 700 violations and killed 386 Palestinians\, including\, on average\, two children per day. Congress must pass the Block the Bombs Act to bring about a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and across the region. \nThe Block the Bombs Act (H.R. 3565)\, which currently has 57 co-sponsors\, was introduced by Representatives Ramirez\, Jacobs\, Jayapal\, and Pocan. If adopted\, the bill would prohibit the President from selling\, transferring\, or exporting certain defense articles or services to Israel\, except in specified circumstances.These weapons have been used to inflict mass civilian casualties and destroy civilian infrastructure\, including 2000-lb bombs. When dropped\, they can lead to a half-mile radius of both building damage and severe injuries to humans\, including ruptured lungs\, burst sinuses\, and torn off limbs. \nU.S. weapons are responsible for tens of thousands of Palestinian deaths. Americans are tired of seeing it – 75% of Democratic voters\, and 60% of all voters\, oppose the US giving more weapons to Israel. They are also tired of paying for it with their taxes – $21.7B since October 7th. It is time for Congress to use its leverage as the controller of military aid to force Israel to abide by the ceasefire. \nJoin us for an action hour to call on our members of Congress to sign on. We will gather on Zoom\, go through a brief intro\, and make phone calls to Congress\, demanding they support this bill. We will walk through a call script for those who would like some help on what to say on the calls. \nRegister Below!

SUMMARY:Standout: Hold Israel Accountable
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, Nov 1\, noon \nPark Street Station\, Boston \ndate changed due to predicted weather \n \nHundreds of Palestinians have been killed by Israel since the ceasefire agreement was signed. \nThe U.S. must demand that Israel obey the ceasefire immediately \nSeth Moulton\, who is running for Senate\, and our whole congressional delegation must wake up and support the Stop the Bombs legislation and cut off of military and diplomatic support for Israel. \nThe Mass. State legislature must divest the pension plan from the companies providing the weapons being used by Israel to violate the ceasefire. \nThe Famine continues in violation of the agreement. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians continue to starve in violation of the Agreement’s demand that the U.N. and other organizations be allowed to end the famine. \nThe U.S. government and public demand Israel’s compliance with the agreement to end the famine. \nWe must punish Israel’s continued starvation of Palestinians by suspending all aid to Israel and passing the Stop the Bombs legislation.   Members of Congress including Seth Moulton must support the UNRWA Funding Restoration Act. \nThis rally will raise awareness that Israel is continuing the mass murder and starvation of Palestinians in violation of the Agreement they claim to be observing\, and to cut into the assumption that Trump’s agreement has ended the Gaza war and to call for Israel’s isolation as punishment for these violations \nSponsored by Arise & Resist\, MAPA\, Northshore for Palestine\, CD8 for Palestine\, Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine\, and Palestine South Shore Alliance. Additional cosponsors welcome.  Bring Palestine flags and wear keffiyehs.  Contact AriseResistCoalition@proton.me

SUMMARY:Letter Delivery to Katherine Clark
DESCRIPTION:Last week\, Congresswoman Katherine Clark tweeted that “I am horrified by the starvation in Gaza\,” yet she supports sending Israel the weapons it uses to deliberately starve Gaza. \nWe need to point out this contradiction and demand that Clark takes action to end our country’s complicity in Israel’s genocide. \nRight now there is bill in Congress that would do exactly that\, the Block the Bombs Act (H.3565). This bill would prevent the federal government from sending Israel some of the most destruction weapons being used in its genocide. \nSign this letter to tell Clark that tweets are not enough\, she must take immediate action to end our complicity in the genocide in Gaza. We are demanding Clark meet with her constituents to discuss legislation to stop the genocide and hold Israel accountable. \nWe will be delivering this letter to Clark’s office Thursday\, August 7th at noon\, carrying pots and pans to symbolize the starvation unfolding in Gaza. Meet at the Malden Center T-stop. \n  \nSponsored by the Arise & Resist Coalition\, Massachusetts Peace Action\, National Iranian American Council – MA Chapter\, Doctors Against Genocide\, About Face Veterans\, Veterans for Peace\, If Not Now Boston\, Jewish Voice for Peace Boston\, Boston Democratic Socialists of America\, Boston Interfaith Ceasefire\, Green-Rainbow Party Boston\, Arlington for Palestine\, Lexington for Palestine\, and Medford for Palestine

SUMMARY:Stop the Cuts! Tax the Rich! Block the Bombs!
DESCRIPTION:Join the Arise & Resist Budget and Tax Justice Coalition\, the LOFTE Network and MAPA to rally at State GOP Headquarters in Boston! We must demand they repudiate these draconian Big Ugly Bill cuts to housing\, healthcare\, food assistance and more in order to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-rich and huge increases to ICE and Pentagon pork! \nWe’re rallying to build a movement: we won’t back down! \nDonald Trump’s Big Brutal Bill will GUT HUD HOUSING programs by slashing funding by 43% and replacing Section 8/Public Housing with block grants + term limits. \nFAMILIES WILL LOSE HOMES\, Climate\, Clean Water\, and Medical Research would be slashed by $2 to $3 billion. \nThese are in addition to Trump’s $1 Trillion cut to MEDICAID and SNAP! \nCHILDREN WILL LOSE FOOD and HEALTHCARE! \nTrump’s PENTAGON would receive over $1 TRILLION and the budget for his ICE GESTAPO would balloon by several fold ! \nMEANWHILE: \nBILLIONAIRES GET MORE TAX CUTS – WHILE CHILDREN ABROAD ARE KILLED AND MAIMED! \nYes\, I’ll be there!

SUMMARY:No War with Iran - Emergency Rally
DESCRIPTION:President Trump’s unprovoked attack on Iran is incredibly dangerous\, unnecessary\, and illegal. His unilateral action threatens to embroil the United States in another costly war in the Middle East\, just like George W. Bush did with his attack on Iraq. His unconstitutional action endangers people across the region and American service members dangerously deployed there. Congress must stop these illegal actions immediately.

SUMMARY:Stop Starving Gaza! Rally and Silent Procession
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a rally and silent procession on Tuesday\, June 3. We will meet outside Park Street Station at 5:30pm. \nRSVP to attend \n \nIsrael is starving 2.1 million people in Gaza.The small volume of aid that started to trickle in after an 11-week full blockade is a drop in the ocean. Israel is blocking thousands of trucks carrying food\, medicine\, and clean water from entering Gaza and continues to bomb bakeries\, farmland\, water facilities\, aid distribution centers\, and aid guards. Children and the elderly are dying. Israel’s goal is to prevent Palestinians from being able to return to their land. This is all being facilitated by our tax dollars. \nWe will gather at the Park Street Station to hear speakers testify on the humanitarian situation in Gaza and demand an end to our complicity. We will then continue with a silent procession to mourn those already lost to bombings and starvation\, and to protest the continued funding and enablement of this genocide by our government. Please wear black\, bring empty pots and pans\, and carry signs with consistent imagery and messaging focused on the effects of bombing and starvation on children. \nRSVP welcome but not required.

SUMMARY:Concord 250 Outreach
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Concord250 Planning Committee of the Arise & Resist Coalition \nWe are planning an anti-authoritarian outreach event at Concord250 on Saturday\, April 19\, a commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. Thousands—potentially hundreds of thousands—will gather for a parade\, drone show\, and other local happenings throughout the day. Invitations have been extended to notable figures such as Donald Trump and King Charles III. \nThis will be a great opportunity to make a stand in front of a mass audience and appeal to attendees who are interested in joining local organizations for change. Our plan is to distribute handouts that feature shocking statistics and a list of local organizations working to resist or combat the issues at hand. \nOur core message is resisting the rise of authoritarianism in the United States led by extremist right-wing billionaires. We want to draw folks’ attention with anti-authoritarian sentiments that are widely agreed upon\, and then encourage participation in local groups/organizations that are fighting back and assisting communities in need. \nWe will meet at the Concord rail station at 1:30 for orientation.  Volunteers will then fan out in the area to distribute brochures and talk to attendees.  Meet back at the rail station at 4:00 to debrief.  Be sure to sign up to get full information\, do not just show up in Concord without contacting organizers ahead of time.   Do not drive to Concord without a parking plan. \nSign up here

SUMMARY:Arise & Resist: Our Time to Act is Now
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 15\, 2025 \n1:00pm-5:00pm \nSt James Parish\, 1991 Massachusetts Ave\, Cambridge MA 02140 \nEnter on Beech St. \nmasspeace.us/arise-resist-act \nAs the new regime rampages against us\, we will forge new connections to empower ourselves to fight back with clarity and strength. It’s time to strategize – together.  \nFrom our January 19 conference\, four different plans of action have emerged so far:  Fight Budget and Tax Cuts\, Palestine Solidarity\,  Concord 250 Protest/ Direct Action\, and a Rapid Response Network. Join us on March 15  to strengthen these projects collectively. We intend to put our plans into action. Now\, more than ever\, we need to work better together! \nThe meeting will begin in the Sanctuary\, then move to breakout spaces\, and conclude with a final session in the Parish Hall.   Enter on Beech St which is closest to the Sanctuary. \nAgenda \nOpening Session – Sanctuary \nOverview – political framing – 10-15 min\n \n4 project reports  5-10 min each – total 45 min \n\nRapid response network\nBudget and Taxes\nConcord 250 Protest / Direct Action\nPalestine Solidarity\n\nBreakouts – 90 min \nRapid response network – Classroom 113 \nAs the extremist right wing billionaire’s administration strips our government for parts\, as I.C.E. hunts down our immigrant neighbors\, as Israel keeps up its attacks on Palestine\, we are seeing federally funded community support programs disappear. We know the suffering in our communities is just beginning. In response\, Arise and Resist has been developing a Rapid Response network to protect our neighbors and mobilize opposition. We will share what we have accomplished so far and\nstrategize together on how to strengthen and broaden the network to reach across our state and involve more activist and community groups. \nFight Tax and Budget Cuts – Lounge \nWe know that there is a rising discontent with federal policies being inflicted by Elon Musk and other Trump appointees. People on the front lines in our struggles for affordable housing\, decent health care\, and food security need to advocate for a Budget for All to serve our needs. Arise and Resist has begun to develop such a peoples’ budget campaign. Join us to strategize how best to launch that campaign. \nConcord 250 Protest / Direct Action – MAPA office (room 115) \nOn April 19th the town of Concord\, MA will celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the beginning of the American Revolution. (President Trump may – or may not – attend) Many voters are now alarmed by the Republicans’ billionaire enabling and anti-democratic acts. We plan to be in Concord to connect with their “Tax the Rich” sentiments and encourage individuals to sign on with local groups and organizations that are actively opposing Trump’s policies. We need support to make our presence large\, mobile\, and effective. \nPalestine Solidarity – Parish Hall \nWe have a large and very diverse local Palestinian solidarity movement. If we could find ways to collaborate\, we would become much more effective. Let’s focus on campaigns that would spark the most engagement. Join us to discuss what those campaigns would be. \nReportbacks – 30-45 min – Parish Hall \nDirections and Parking: We are meeting at St James Church\, 1991 Massachusetts Ave.\, Cambridge 02140.   Enter from Beech St as shown on the floor plan. \nThe church is three blocks north of Porter Square. \nBy car\, there are parking meters on Mass. Ave.\, which must be fed from 8am to 8pm Monday to Saturday.  Maximum time is 2 hours which costs you $2.50 in quarters or by app. To park for 4 hours\, put in 10 quarters\, note the zone number and time\, and pay by app after 2 hours. \nArise & Resist Coalition:  Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine\, CD8 for Palestine\, Communist Party of Massachusetts\, Green Rainbow Party\, Jewish Voice for Peace Boston\, Massachusetts Alliance of HUD Tenants\, Massachusetts Peace Action\, Northshore for Palestine.   All progressive groups invited to join! \nContact: arise-resist@masspeaceaction.org
