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.

Join us as we chat with New York Times bestselling author, Douglas Brunt, about his instant bestselling debut non-fiction work The Mysterious Case of Rudolph Diesel: Genius, Power, and Deception on the Eve of World War I. This book reveals the hidden history of Rudolf Diesel, one of the world’s greatest inventors, and his mysterious disappearance from the steamship Dresden on the eve of World War I. 
After rising from an impoverished European childhood, Diesel had become a multi-millionaire with his powerful engine that does not require expensive petroleum-based fuel. In doing so, he became not only an international celebrity but also the enemy of two extremely powerful men -– Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and John D. Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil and the richest man in the world. The Kaiser wanted the engine to power a fleet of submarines that would finally allow him to challenge Great Britain’s Royal Navy. But Diesel had intended for his engine to be used for the betterment of the world. 
Brunt reopens the case and provides a compelling new conclusion about Diesel’s fate. Register now to see how the mystery unfolds!
