On May 29, we spoke with the Electronic Intifada along with BDS Boston about how we forced Elbit Systems out of the MIT Industrial Liaison Program. Find it on all major listening platforms.

"Despite their repression, their attacks on free speech, their shutting down of the opinion section of the newspaper, their suspension of students on the basis of their activism, we will continue, and we do not plan to stop. It's only looking worse and worse for the merchants of death, and we know we're on the right side of history."

🚨EMERGENCY RALLY TOMORROW FRIDAY JUNE 13th AT 11 AM AT THE JFK FEDERAL BUILDING🚨

In another unprovoked attack on civilian infrastructure, Israel has launched missiles at Iran. This is an attempt to drag the US into their senseless war of agression. At the same time, the Zionists continue to impose a blockade on Gaza and have besieged the West Bank. How many more innocents need to be buried under rubble until this genocidal madness stops?

TOMORROW 11am, we will rally at the JFK Federal Building to demand an end to US and Israeli aggression and for a return to diplomacy over military confrontation. Stop arming the settler apartheid state of Israel. Stop MIT research for genocide. Divest now.

"The sons of Adam are limbs of each other
Having been created of one essence.
When the calamity of time afflicts one limb
The other limbs cannot remain at rest.
If thou hast no sympathy for the troubles of others
Thou art unworthy to be called by the name 'human.'
- Saadi Shirazi, d. 1291

LEFT ON PEARL is a documentary about the 1971 takeover and occupation of a Harvard University-owned building by hundreds of Boston-area women. The ten-day occupation of 888 Memorial Drive by women demanding a Women’s Center, end to gentrification of Cambridge's black neighborhood, and low-income housing for the community, embodied within it many of the hopes, triumphs, conflicts and tensions of Second Wave feminism.

We will watch and discuss the film in terms of the tactical debates within the Palestine solidarity movement. RSVP: bit.ly/MIT_LP

🚨EMERGENCY RALLY 🚨The U.S. has commenced the bombing of Iran's sovereign territory and civilian nuclear facilities, at the bidding of Israel. This is a war crime, and a major escalation.

Join the Coalition for Palestine and the broader Boston community to say NO WAR WITH IRAN, FREE PALESTINE, & ARMS EMBARGO NOW!!!

"Landmine removal"? That sounds nice. Until you see that it's not about clearing areas for civilian use. It's about enabling Israeli occupation forces during combat to penetrate the areas they have bombed and save their own soldiers so they can wage war even further. A few hours ago, they committed more massacres in Al-Baqa beach and Gaza City: entrails are littering the street. MIT scientist Christopher Voigt and his accomplices in Biological Engineering, LIDS, and CSAIL are aiding and abetting mass murder.

As pragmatic and ethical scientists, we understand that catching MIT in its lies and hypocrisy will not bring divestment. Expose the lie, they'll give another excuse. "Complicity in mass murder"? They'll make another committee to 'study the issue' for 2 years. MIT will say 'We're following rules and academic freedom' But we'll find rules and values they broke. 'Your demands are extreme and unpopular'. Fine, we'll win 3 campus-wide votes on ending MIT's ties to the IOF, and 2 more about Palestine. "This hasnt been done before" Yes, it has been done before. We'll win the argument, we'll win in the democratic arena, and we'll win in the law book, but MIT doesnt care. They care about money and power, and the only language they understand is violence and intimidation. To fight them, we need our own disruptive power. Our own intifada. No concessions, or polite emails, or cliches about "both sides". You either stand with humanity and democracy and conscience, or you stand with death and genocide. It's time to beat swords into plowshares.
