Noon FRIDAY: Protest Saudi Crown Prince at MIT
Protest Saudi Crown Prince at MIT
Friday, March 23, 12:00 Noon
MIT Main Entrance, 77 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge
Dear Paul,
Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), the architect of the Saudi/US war in Yemen, is planning avisit this Saturday and Sunday to Cambridge and Boston, where he is expected to visit both MIT and Harvard. Join us on Friday as we protest at MIT and ask MIT to decline to host him.
Since 2015, Saudi Arabia, with vital support from the United States, has been waging war in Yemen. Tens of thousands of civilians have been killed; over one million cases of cholera have been reported; and 22 million civilians are threatened by famine. Two million Yemenis are displaced and they are living in squalid conditions, lacking basic amenities such as clean water and healthcare.
Please join us in protest of MBS' visit to MIT!
MIT and Saudi Arabia cooperate on cybersecurity, technology, and economic development. Saudi Aramco is a founding member of the MIT Energy Initiative, and Saudi Arabia has an active partnership with the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST), which it should terminate, due to Saudi’s human rights violations.
We will present a petition to MIT President Rafael Reif on Friday. Sign the petition now!
Massachusetts Peace Action joins with Action Corps Boston, the Green-Rainbow Party, Veterans for Peace/ Smedley Butler Brigade, Women's International League for Peace and Freedom Boston Branch, Harvard Law School Justice for Palestine, and Harvard Law School National Lawyers Guild to say:
Stop the US/Saudi War on Yemen!
Saudi Prince Not Welcome!
Yemen Can't Wait!
