RSVP now to join Tuesday rallies

Simultaneous rallies will be held at noon on Tuesday, January 23, 2024 at the Boston, Worcester and Springfield offices of Acting U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Joshua Levy, urging him to enforce the U.S. Leahy Law, which under current circumstances in Gaza and the West Bank, prohibits the shipment of U.S. weapons to the Israel Defense Forces.

The rallies have been initiated by the “Leahy Fast for Palestine Committee” in Northampton and are being organized with the gracious help of organizers in western MA, Worcester and Boston.

Several Pax Christi Massachusetts (PCMA) Directors have been participating in the fast over the past month, and PCMA Co-Chair Phil Harak, a member of the PC Western MA local chapter, will address the rally in Springfield.
