The systemic exclusion of anti trafficking activists and constituencies from the #GenerationEquality Forum shows how this space isn't inclusive nor representative and won't be able to #ActForEqual. That's why, we take a stand today and say that the #GEF doesn't represent us.
The ICC prosecutor is right to issue arrest warrants for political leaders who engage in war crimes.
The global community must uphold international law.
Without these standards of decency & morality, the planet may rapidly descend into anarchy, never-ending wars, and barbarism.
I know it sounds radical; I know it sounds utopian. But it exists in many other countries around the world.
We can and we must create a system in which people can go to any doctor they want, any hospital they want, and not have to take out their wallet.
For five days, almost no humanitarian aid has gotten into Gaza. Israel's military operation in Rafah has closed both main border crossings.
No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel.
Children are starving.
The U.S. cannot continue to be complicit in this humanitarian disaster.
Sending in militarized police and snipers to stop students from exercising their First Amendment rights is truly disgusting.
Why are my colleagues and the mainstream media more outraged over these anti-war protests than they are about the over 35,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza?
.@RepRashida’s grandmother has died, she said in a post on Instagram.
This is the moving conversation she had with her grandmother in 2019 after Israel blocked the congresswoman’s official visit to the occupied West Bank.
VETERANS: "Our real enemy is the millionaire politicians and their billionaire owners who send us to die."
After US airman Aaron Bushnell self-immolated to demand a "Free Palestine," veterans around the country are burning their uniforms and raising their voices.
BREAKING: Anti-genocide activists disrupt the ADL’s ‘Never is Now’ conference in New York City as the Zionist org honors Jared Kushner, whose speech to a half-empty room was repeatedly disrupted with shouts of “Warmongerer!” and “It’s not antisemitic to stop bombing!”
🚨🇵🇸 Aaron Bushnell, 25 years old and an active duty soldier, made the ultimate sacrifice to end a genocide perpetuated, supported, and financed by the Biden Administration. Biden, Trump and all the imperialist politicians are guilty of war crimes. The system is guilty of crimes against humanity in Gaza and Aaron Bushnell took a heroic stand. We honor him and his sacrifice.
This is an urgent call to all active duty soldiers in the US armed forces to be conscientious objectors and refuse to participate in the US government’s active sponsorship of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians!
“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.”
—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
No matter your politics, it should appall you that the media outlets which claim to care the most about "misinformation" suppressed coverage of South Africa's case against the Gaza genocide, but fully covered Israel's defense the next day—intentionally denying you the full story.
Today my amendment to strengthen protections for trafficking victims was adopted as part of the Department of Labor training bill. We must guarantee protection from deportation and retaliation for victims who speak out against abuse.

I voted no on H. Res. 894. This extreme and cynical Republican resolution does nothing to combat antisemitism, relies on a definition that conflates criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism, paints critics of the Israeli government as antisemites and falsely states that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism.
Equating anti-zionizm with anti-semitism is not only misleading but will create a more systemic approach to oppression and human rights violations. I condemn this resolution that has no basis in any human rights or democracy. #FreePalestineFromlsrael#CeasefireNOW
Opposing the policies of the government of Israel and Netanyahu’s extremism is not antisemitic. Speaking up for human rights and a ceasefire to save lives should never be condemned.
I voted against H. Res. 894.
I believe that it would be irresponsible for us to provide an additional $10.1 billion in unconditional military aid that will allow the Netanyahu government to continue its current offensive military approach.
