‘I’m in solidarity with Palestine!’ Hundreds rally in Baltimore to demand end of Israel’s Occupation
Over 200 demonstrators gathered in front of City Hall in Baltimore on Friday, October 20, and subsequently marched through the streets of downtown Baltimore, to protest Israel’s retaliatory bombing of Gaza after the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attacks, and to call for an end to Israel’s 75-year occupation of Palestine. The rally and march, billed with the title “We Won’t Back Down: All Out for Palestine!,” was cosponsored by The Party for Socialism & Liberation (PSL), Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) Baltimore, Baltimore Student Union, Runners 4 Justice, Friends of Latin America, and Baltimore BLOC. TRNN was on the ground covering the event. The following recording includes a number of speeches delivered at the rally, as well as on-the-ground interviews with Rachel Viqueira of PSL and Sammy Alqasem of the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), DC-MD-VA Chapter.
