Ceasefire now in #Sudan! #keepeyesonSudan #eyesonSudan

Over 50,000 people have been reported missing since the outbreak of war. We must advocate for a ceasefire to facilitate reunification efforts and prompt investigation into these cases!

Thrilled to support #BeyondGenocide in its mission to memorialize & educate about genocide. 🎨You’re invited to submit your design for the inaugural art competition, focused on the genocide in (former) Yugoslavia. The artist will receive $5k! https://t.co/zlT7WIhEYf

A special thanks to @RepAdamSchiff (D, CA-30) who just became the 12th co-sponsor of the Rohingya Genocide, Accountability, and Protection Act (H.R.8936) #Rohingyas #Genocide

[Alexis Herr, Ph.D. @LexiHerr]

Thrilled to share that @GavinNewsom has signed Senate Bill 1277 authored by @HenrySternCA into law, which permanently prioritizes Genocide education in California. This helps fund and support my work with @ChannyChhiLaux and @HolocaustJFCS! Thank you.

#KeepEyesOnSudan The siege of El Fasher, North #Darfur by the RSF exacerbates the living conditions of the civilians. People are suffering from food and medical supply shortages and are forbidden to flee. Please, speak up for #Sudan, and send help now!

Seeing South Africa raise #genocide claims makes me grateful that a system exists to do so. On the other hand, I can't forget that the same system didn't help much when the leader of the #DarfurGenocide Omar Bashir visited SA unimpeded in 2017. https://t.co/2Nzh2nyuKq

What’s the best book you have ever read about/by refugees? Teaching about refugees in the fall and looking for inspiration! #Refugee

[Alexis Herr, Ph.D. @LexiHerr]

I am grateful to all the #educators teaching about genocide. My friend has created a great website for those of you looking for resources on how to teach, advocate, and support victims of the #UyghurGenocide https://t.co/Zv6O5bJzp9 Check it out and please share! #genocide

I am currently working on a book about LGBTQ+ experiences of the #Holocaust for @BloomsburyPub & Im so inspired by the story of Karl Heinrich Ulrichs. Rather than hide his sexual identity, he used it to fuel activism against anti-sodomy laws. True trailblazer for LGBTQ+ rights.

[Alexis Herr, Ph.D. @LexiHerr]

LGBTQ+ rights = human rights. Governments should be concerned with protecting fundamental human rights for all. I stand with @SecBlinken on this one:

"Approaches that include ending the conflict, supporting accountability, assisting civilians at risk, and ensuring the non-acceptance of mass atrocities by the international community are all critical steps to protect Syrian civilians today." No time for fatigue. #Syria

[Preventing Genocide @CPG_USHMM]

12 years after the start of the crisis, civilians in #Syria continue to suffer mass atrocities committed by the Syrian government. Our new report details how we can protect civilians, support Syrian civil society, and hold perpetrators accountable. https://t.co/dBXgqqCLi2
