Emergency Protest and March Held in Hartford

As we prepared this issue for print, there was an emergency march in Hartford on March 21 to protect Gaza, protect immigrants, and protect free speech. Demands also included ending USA aid to Israel and freeing Mahmoud Khalil (a US permanent resident taken by ICE) and other immigrants and activists who have been detained because they’re activists for Palestinian rights. People rallied outside the ICE/federal building at 450 Main St. and then marched to the Capitol.

Earlier in the week, Israel violated the 2-month-old ceasefire and killed over 500 people in Gaza. Over 200 of the dead were children. Israel shortly thereafter sent in ground troops to Gaza.
