Testimony, the people speak out: Indian imagery on the state flag and seal, and an attempt to limit public criticism about Israel

At a recent hearing in the Massachusetts State House before a Joint Oversight Committee, numerous people spoke to two issues (among others), the Indian-degrading imagery on the state flag and seal, and another attempt to block criticism of Israel thru the BDS, Boycott-Divest-Sanction campaign. Massachusetts Peace Action and the Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine were two main organizers, along with various Indian organizations.
