IfNotNow Boston 🔥UPDATE: Hours after MIT cleared the encampment, protestors knocked down barricades and streamed back in. They have formed a human chain to protect the camp.
(edit to clarify what was unclear in the moment)
Powerful moment as the crowd falls quiet except for a solitary voice in song. (and briefly, a pitiful counter protestor with a bullhorn)
MIT encampment organizers just asked community members to stay the night to protect the camp.
Meanwhile, the youth blockade on Mass Ave is still going strong. An even younger person (7 or 8?) is now leading chants.
Deborah Sampson@ifnotnowboston Remarkable!
No #tiktok algorithm “tricked or brainwashed them”.
They see atrocities & want it to stop…now.
They’ve been fed too much BS on how “great #america is…how righteous & moral…”
The young are calling out our failures & immoral actions of our Govt…
But we’re like…”they’re #children (NYPD & mayor)”…
“We must protect them”…who’s protecting Gaza’s children?
Shame on those attacking them…you’ve forgotten the lessons of history.
It doesn’t repeat…it rhymes.
This is the proof.
