Rutgers NO WAR / NO ICE Protest on Eve of NO KINGS Fri. 3/27 4 – 7pm Hamilton / College Av – Right of Way Free Speech Protest
The Green Party of New Jersey together with NJ BURN (Build Up Resistance Now) and FightbackBetter are organizing a protest against US wars abroad including on Iran and US domestic terror against the US civilian population and welcomes everyone to attend and participate as endorsers and/or speakers to call out the oppression and aggressions committed by United States against the world.
DEMANDS:
We Demand US and Israel Immediately Stand Down by Halting All Military Hostilities Toward Iran: Only then can meaningful negotiations transpire.
We Demand NJ Democratic Party Congressional and Senate Delagation must unify and vote as a block to stop the Trump Administration’s request for $200 Billion supplemental funding for the illegal first strike war of choice US and Israel initiated. Leading Democrats are already indicating they will endorse and vote to fund Trump’s war on Iran. In NJ pressure is needed on all of the Democrats and the ones most likely to vote with MAGA for war include US Senator Booker and NJ Congressional Representatives Pou, Conaway, Gottheimer, Pallone and Norcross.
We Demand ICE off campus and total dismantlement of ICE and prosecution of its criminal perpetrators.
We Demand an end to the genocide in Gaza and the removal of Israel and foreign forces and economic interests from Gaza
We Demand Hands off Venezuela and release of President Maduro, his wife Celia Flores, Hands of Colombia, an end to the blockade and Hands off Cuba
No to the wave of repression and the threats to unleashAI Palantir driven unmanned vehicles for lethal force against the US population based upon our political views per National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 .
The current situation in Iran poses significant risks for the entire world. When we allow our government to bomb and invade countries without facing the repercussions we reinforce a troubling precedent,AGAIN, that we can manipulate global affairs and pursue the empire we’ve always claimed to be. We are instead solidifying our image as a ‘warmonger’ for generations to come, setting ourselves up as the main enemy while causing substantial harm to entire populations and on the environment.
This occurs through the complacency of both parties, motivated primarily by profit at the expense of human beings. We need to unify our efforts and continue advocating for peace every opportunity we have because that would be our legacy to our children.
FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 4 – 7PM, Corner College Av / Hamiliton St (GPS Search 40 College Av) (Rutgers), New Brunswick, NJ 08901
RIGHT OF WAY PROTEST – DEFEND THE FREE SPEECH RIGHTS OF RUTGERS STUDENTS
In organizing this event we are hearing that many of the campus groups at Rutgers now fear having protests on Rutgers grounds given the repressive campus climate targeting opponents of war and genocide. This protest will not occur on Rutgers property but at the “right of way” edge or the road. In the USA we have a protected free speech right to assemble without a permit – at roads edge – technically we can be made to keep moving – which is why labor unions picket when they are forced to strike in front of employment locations. So if pressured we will create a roving picket.
This event is organized by community organizations disconnected from the university recognition and control process. We invite students to represent their constituencies – to speak out, carry signs and advocate against war – as individuals. They can do so without linking to the recognized groups to protect those groups from arbitrary repressive action by the Rutgers Administration which is openly complicit with the IDF and Israel terror through the Rutgers connection to Tel Aviv University.
MESSAGE TO NO KINGS ORGANIZERS
The NO KINGS protest express the overwhelming majority sentiment to call for an end to the cruelty and harm and violence of the Trump administration. We encourage all to participate if they can but we also encourage you to bring signs and leaflets calling for the US to stand down in its first strike war of aggression in Iran, The Democratic Party is attempting to leverage the NO KINGS protests to build support for the midterm elections at the same time there is severe danger that the Democrats could vote to fund Trump’s worse action yet – the attack on Iran. Any mass movement that is to properly challenge the Trump Administration can not pretend while it builds support for Trump policies and especially for the war upon the nation and people of Iran.
We invite and welcome NO KINGS organizers to attend this event to invite more student participation on Saturday at numerous local NO KINGS protests.
