SOCIAL ACTIVISM
Demonstrations
We Will Return, along with other prominent organizers, has organized statewide demonstrations for the Palestinian people who have been living under occupation and apartheid for the past seventy six years. The purpose of these demonstrations is to raise awareness of the ongoing and past atrocities that are taking place. Our goal is to shed light on the complicity of Western countries, particularly the United States, who have provided aid to Israel time and time again, thus abetting the genocide and the oppression of the Palestinian people.
Human Rights Day
|
In light of Human Rights Day, We Will Return, along with other human rights organizations, coordinated a rally to shed light on the human rights violations occurring in Gaza and the West Bank. This demonstration was not meant to be solely symbolic, but rather serve as a call to actively champion human rights on a global scale, and focus on human rights violations across the world.

The Connecticut Forum
We Will Return organized a demonstration that was held to protest a panel discussion organized by the Connecticut Forum, who hosts experts and journalists to come speak at their events. The Connecticut Forum proves their complicity in genocide by allowing sponsorship from Raytheon Technologies, a defense company that sends weapons to Israel to aid the ongoing occupation and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.
Our largest demonstration
|
A multitude of individuals from various parts of Connecticut gathered in New Haven to express their opposition to the genocidal regime of Israel. The protest aimed to voice discontent towards Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro - whose district encompasses the area and who is known for her staunch support of Israel - and all members of our government. The demonstration served as a platform for people across Connecticut to mass mobilize, unite, and advocate for change.

Our first demonstration
|
At the onset of atrocities unfolding in Gaza, We Will Return along with various organizations organized our first demonstration in front of the state capitol of Connecticut, in Hartford, CT. This marked the start of many protests, demonstrations, and rallies to come. We knew that Gaza needed our help then more than ever, and also acknowledge that said statement still rings true today..
