Marco Rubio is shredding the right to free speech, and he's proud
of it. Earlier today, when he was asked by a reporter how many visas
had been revoked from pro-Palestine students, he bragged, "Maybe more
than 300 at this point. We do it every day, every time I find one of
these lunatics."
The campaign of persecution playing out on college campuses across
the country is meant to have a chilling effect on everyone in society
who stands with Palestine. The national march on April 5 in
Washington, D.C. is our chance to come together in huge numbers to
send a clear message to Rubio, Trump and everyone else who wants to
criminalize opposition to genocide: We are not afraid!
Relying on laws from the era of McCarthyism, Mahmoud
Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk and so many others have been arrested or are
facing arrest. Others have been expelled, kicked out of their housing,
or had their diplomas revoked. And if we don't stand up to him now,
Trump won't stop with the Palestine solidarity movement -- anyone who
opposes any aspect of his far right agenda will be targeted.
If each individual is left to fight by themselves, then Trump has
the upper hand. But if we unite and stand together in
solidarity, we can turn back this wave of repression and
build a movement to stop the massacre in Gaza that is broader and
stronger than ever before. The April 5 march is a critical opportunity
to do this.
A broad coalition has come together for this pivotal action.
Initial sponsors include the Palestinian Youth Movement, The People's
Forum, the ANSWER Coalition, American Muslims for Palestine,
Democratic Socialists of America, Jewish Voice for Peace, U.S.
Palestinian Community Network, U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations,
U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, Palestinian Feminist Collective,
AROC Action, and Al-Awda, and many more are joining.
Please make an urgently needed donation today to help
make this demonstration and dozens of buses from across the country
possible.
