A call for ceasefire: Wildcats take action for Palestine
Northern Michigan University students and community members took a stand on Saturday, Feb. 3 in Marquette. The group marched down Washington Street from Lower Harbor’s bell tower to Harlow Park, carrying signs and shouting chants demanding a ceasefire in Gaza. “We want people to know at the end of this event, that no matter how informed you feel that you may or may not be, you absolutely can be involved and you should be involved,” said Ian Watson, protest organizer and NMU student. “This is a dire situation that demands that every single person is making their voice heard and doing anything that they can, regardless of how small the action may feel.” More on the story: https://thenorthwindonline.com/3899501/multimedia/a-call-for-ceasefire-wildcat-community-takes-action-for-palestine/
