Chelsea Manning was recently arrested and thrown into solitary confinement for refusing on principle to testify in front of a grand jury. We demand her freedom, and freedom for all those who bravely expose the crimes of the U.S.
Boston-area students will be coming together to protest at the same time as students at Brown University, as part of their week of solidarity with Chelsea Manning.
This event is co-organized by BU Students Against Imperialism and MIT Students Against War.
Join in the resistance! Let’s come together to demand driver’s licenses for all, free health care, education, and childcare, affordable housing, and rights for working people including abolishing the wage system. Instead of declaring a national emergency to build a wall, let’s declare a national emergency to combat climate change, rebuild the crumbling infrastructure, and end police brutality. Join us in demanding immediate legal permanent residence for all undocumented migrants and an end to the blockade of Venezuela. This year’s May Day will feature a Puppet Parade including a funeral procession for capitalism. Let’s usher in spring with a fresh and energetic rally and parade which will celebrate the resistance of working people and the oppressed worldwide.

Wars, Military Spending and Tax Cuts for the Rich Are Hurting Our Communities —
And Destroying the Planet!
At least 60% of annual US Discretionary Spending goes directly to the Pentagon to finance wars and military spending; the Trump tax cuts overwhelmingly favor the wealthy and Corporations while limiting potential spending that will benefit our communities.
We say:
| NO to excessive military spending | YES to HOUSING |
| NO to tax cuts for the rich | YES to EDUCATION |
| NO to nuclear weapons | YES to HEALTH CARE |
| NO to military bases all over the world | YES to JOBS |
| NO to war | YES to COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE |
