Sign the Petition: "No Appetite for Apartheid"
Make City Market, Onion River Co-op Apartheid Free!
City Market Co-op values are: kindness, diversity, responsibility, fun, learning, and positive impact. Positive impact is described on the co-op website as "Embody our purpose from the smallest to the most worldly; be optimistic". In keeping in line with these core values, and our morals as human beings, we call on the City Market Executive and Senior Management, as well as the Elected Board, to have City Market (downtown and south end) discontinue stocking products made in Israel or otherwise financially connected to the Israeli settler occupation and genocide of Palestine, potentially in a phased approach if needed. This includes products from Coca-Cola, Pepsico, Nestle, and many others.
In signing this petition, I also demonstrate to the co-op that regardless of if these products are phased out or not, I will no longer be buying products either made in Israel, or products by corporations that are complicit in and financially benefit from any form of colonization, genocide, or apartheid.

Vermonters Say 'NO' to Eleos AI at Howard Center
https://actionnetwork.org/letters/noeleosathc
Howard Center has decided to utilize Eleos Health's AI tools in its services. Eleos Health is a company with direct links to Israel and IDF. By using their services Howard Center is directly linking itself, and the community it serves, to the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people by the apartheid state of Israel. As if that weren't bad enough, AI tools like those made by Eleos Health are unproven with regard to the services provided by Howard Center and have been documented to perpetuate the racism and sexism already rampant in our healthcare system. By using AI tools in its services Howard Center is also exposing its clients to an additional and unnecessary level of risk regarding their sensitive information.
Howard Center management has denied the request of a worker-led petition with over 140 signatures demanding that the agency end its contract with Eleos. As a community, we support Howard Center workers, and we agree that AI has no place at Howard Center. So, as members of the community served by Howard Center, we are demanding that the agency end its contract with Eleos Health now!
Sign the Petition: “STOP the deportation proceedings against activist Mohsen Mahdawi!”
STOP the deportation proceedings against activist Mohsen Mahdawi!
This petition calls for the immediate termination of deportation proceedings against Mohsen Mahdawi and a public condemnation of immigration enforcement to punish political speech.
"If speech for human dignity becomes grounds for deportation, then silence becomes the price of safety. This is bigger than one man. It is about whether conscience itself can be criminalized".

Mohsen Mahdawi speaks at “AN ARTIST RESPONDS TO WAR” (Brattleboro)
Mohsen Mahdawi, Vermont-based Palestinian human rights advocate, will speak at several upcoming screenings of the film AN ARTIST RESPONDS TO WAR.
At each of the events, Mohsen Mahdawi will talk about his life growing up in Palestine in the West Bank, his work as an advocate for human rights in Palestine, and the current state of his legal battles to fight deportation by the Trump administration.
AN ARTIST RESPONDS TO WAR is a new documentary film that chronicles Bread & Puppet founder Peter Schumann's use of paintings, puppets and theater productions to protest war from the Vietnam War in the streets of New York City in the 1960s to the current genocide in Gaza. In an age desperate for hopeful figures of cultural resistance, this new film is a testament to the radical, enduring idea that art is not a retreat from the world — it is a way of fighting for it.
Filmmaker Robbie Leppzer will also speak at each of the screenings.

No Appetite for Apartheid Next Step:
Campaign for a Bylaw Amendment at City Market
Join our campaign for an amendment to City Market Onion River Co-op’s bylaws to un-shelve Israeli products from their shelves. Members have the power to propose and bring such amendments to a vote. Our strategy is twofold:
1. Collect (in person) member signatures for an amendment, that would give members the power to propose and vote on a co-op-wide boycott.
2. Put "product of Israel" products through that bylaw amendment process, in order to un-shelve them from the co-op.
We are currently on step 1, and need about 700 signatures on paper from members in order to bring this bylaw amendment to a vote!
If you are a member who believes not only in the importance of putting economic pressure on Israel to stop its colonization of Palestine, stop in at one of the times and locations listed below, to sign the petition! If you believe in expanding the democratic power that members have at the co-op, stop in at one of the times and locations listed below, to sign the petition!
We will be wearing keffiyehs to help you know who to approach. Please have your member number handy when you arrive.
