March for a Free Palestine
End the Siege of Gaza
End U.S. Funding to Israel
Free Palestine
 
Sunday
April 28th
Noon
New Haven Green
250 Temple Street.
New Haven
Join your neighbors from all walks of life and communities from across the state to call for an end to the destruction of life in Gaza and stop the planned invasion of Rafah, which could carry with it unimaginable consequences.
After six months of bombing, occupation, blockade and displacement, at least 34,000 Palestinians have died - 1 out of every 65 human beings in Gaza. Most of the housing is destroyed or damaged, 1.9 million are still displaced and humanitarian organizations warn that the starvation which has begun could become catastrophic very soon.
There is no justification for the continuation of this siege. It must end now.
The weapons required to destroy Gaza come from the United States. This means we can stop it. 
Now, when students and workers face violent repression for speaking out against the atrocities committed in their name, it is more important than ever to build this movement! Join us for a march and rally that may be the largest so far in our state. Children's activities will follow the scheduled march.

For the month of April, we will be reading Blanche Cleans Up by Barbara Neely. 
Blanche White is working as a temporary cook and housekeeper for a right-wing, Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Alistair Brindle when someone tries to blackmail him. It’s an ugly mess that Brindle’s political team is eager to sweep under the carpet and that Blanche can’t resist cleaning up herself…especially after a young black man is killed who knew too much about Brindle’s dirty laundry. Her investigation raises dark secrets involving sex, environmental contamination, and political corruption, difficult stains on the white, conservative Brindle family that someone is trying to remove with murder.
