We were energized by the many expressions of solidarity and determination by all who came out to the March For Gaza! Thanks so much to all who came out (some over 100 of you!) and to UB Students for Justice in Palestine who did such a wonderful job of collaborating and coordinating! Many special thanks to Jewish friends who have shared their own anguish over what is going on in Israel/Palestine! May all be reminded of the Truth and Love at all of our foundations!
