HD 5428 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

Resolutions declaring the town of Montague to be an apartheid-free community

This non-binding resolution declares Montague a symbolic "Apartheid-Free Community" and commits the town to opposing racism and discrimination. It specifically affirms solidarity with Palestinians facing systemic human rights abuses described by international bodies as apartheid, and pledges to work toward ending support for Israel's policies of settlement and occupation. The resolution recommends the Select Board forward it to Massachusetts state officials, but does not create new legal obligations or alter local laws.
