Jill Biden Visit to Duluth Met With Gaza Protesters

Jill Biden made a snap visit to Duluth on Thursday to try and drum up support for President Biden.  She appeared at an invitation only event aimed at seniors. Gaza solidarity protesters were able to get inside the event, and briefly disrupt it, while others turned out on the street across from the Lincoln Park Senior Center.  It's important to challenge the representatives of this administration where ever and whenever they appear to call out their support for the Israeli assault on the people of Gaza.  Thank you to everyone who was able to make it on such incredibly short notice!

You can view the News-Tribune, including their photos of two protesters who made it inside the event, at this link: https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/local/jill-biden-shores-up-senior-votes-in-duluth
