May Day Rally in Burlington!

May Day Rally in Burlington!

VCPL calls on everyone to join the May Day rally at Battery Park in Burlington at 6pm. We will have a speaker at the rally encouraging unions to endorse Apartheid Free Community and join the struggle for Palestinian liberation. We will have a table with fliers to hand out to rank and file trade unionists.

May Day, the international workers holiday, commemorates the strike for the 8 hour day in 1886. Police responded by brutally crushing the protest in Chicago, arresting its leaders, and sentencing 8 workers to death.

This May Day, we will honor those martyrs and the tens of thousands in Gaza, by calling on Vermont workers to support Palestinian trade unions’ call for solidarity with their struggle for liberation. There will be live music by local bands and free food provided by People’s Kitchen. See you at the rally! Free Palestine From the River to the Sea!

Author Talk: Thomas Suárez, “Dispossession and Expulsion from the River to the Sea: The Endgame of Israel’s 76-year war of Terror”

Author Talk: Thomas Suárez, “Dispossession and Expulsion from the River to the Sea: The Endgame of Israel’s 76-year war of Terror”

Join us for a talk by Thomas Suárez, author of Palestine Hijacked: How Zionism Forged an Apartheid State from River to Sea.

The Israel-Palestine “conflict” is typically misunderstood to be a clash between two ethnic groups – Arabs and Jews – inhabiting the same land. Thomas Suárez digs deep below these preconceptions and supporting “narratives” to expose something starkly different: The violent take-over of Palestine by a European racial-nationalist settler movement, Zionism, using terror to assert by force a claim to the land that has no legal or moral basis.

Drawing extensively from original source documents, Suárez interweaves secret intelligence reports, newly-declassified military and diplomatic correspondence, and the Zionist terrorists’ own records boasting of their successes.
