Liberate Boston Pride’s demands were clear: 1) No collusion with the Boston Police Department, which conducts Deadly Exchange training with the settler colonial, terrorist [Imperialist] Occupation Forces, and Cops out of Pride, period. As the group explained on its web site: “Cops do not make us safer.

They enact violence against queer people, especially BIPOC, trans and disabled community members.” 2) No collaboration with the […] Zionist War-Crime consulate, and 3) No cooperation with finance capital’s vast network of banks, financial institutions and for-profit corporations such as State Street Bank, Fidelity, Delta, JPMorgan Chase and Raytheon, which hijack and suppress the radical roots of Pride for their blood money profits!

The Liberate Boston Pride forces valiantly held their ground against squadrons of police, who harassed, surveilled and repressed queer/trans activists, students, youth and multinational workers for several hours. They violently attacked and arrested three queer, pro-Palestinian activists when the bloc moved into the street to protest the liberal, pro-Zionist, racist political establishment’s complicity with genocide at the beginning of the march.
