Governor Healey and her administration are welcoming Sheba Medical Center, the largest hospital system in Israel and a quasi-government institution, to launch a "startup accelerator" in MA, slated to open in Boston in January 2026. Sheba has taken an explicitly political stance amid the current genocide, using its global expansion—including its initiative in Boston—to promote what its leadership calls “the beautiful face of the State of Israel.”
At a time when Israel is killing, detaining, and torturing Palestinian healthcare workers and bombing hospitals that shelter Palestinian families, this is deeply alarming and sends a chilling message about the values that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts chooses to uphold.
Tell the Healey administration that MA residents don't want genocidal AI tech in our state!

On May 5th, MassArt placed staff members Peggy Wang and Isaac Watts on administrative leave for attending a demonstration against the genocide of Palestinians and in support of divestment. They falsely accused them of engaging in violence. Six MassArt students were also sent disciplinary letters.
JVP Boston condemns the disciplinary actions taken by MassArt against students and staff members Peggy Wang and Isaac Watts.
"Tweets, Facebook messages, emails, and even letters can be easily discarded and ignored without much disruption to a congressional staffer’s day. But a blast of phone calls can seriously disrupt a congressional office, leading them to at least openly consider and discuss the issues you’re raising." -VOX
"Activists of all political stripes recommend calling legislators, not just emailing — and certainly not just venting on social media...A phone call from a constituent can, indeed, hold more weight than an email, and far outweighs a Facebook post or a tweet." - New York Times

As our multiracial, multi-faith movements rise in powerful solidarity with Palestinians, violent rightwing forces are going to try to divide us, attack us, and pit us against each other. Being clear and ready to defend against threats on any one of our communities is essential to staying unified, safe, and powerful.
