Southern vermont for palestine
The Vermont Coalition for Palestinian Liberation (of which Southern VT for Palestine is a member organization) is organizing its first ever state-wide educational and activist conference about the struggle to free Palestine. It is free and open to the public, but we encourage those who can to donate $10 to defray costs.
To protect the health of all attending, masks will be required. The ONE Center’s building and parking lot is ADA accessible. Thanks to the People’s Kitchen, the conference will provide a Halal lunch including vegan options for all attending. We encourage everyone who can to donate to the People’s Kitchen to support their work.
