Happy 94th birthday, Dolores! When I was a young organizer, reading about @DoloresHuerta’s life and work showed me what was possible. As one of America's great labor and civil rights icons, Dolores has devoted her entire life to advocating for marginalized communities. She knows the power of community organizing, and through the Dolores Huerta Foundation, she continues to train and mentor new activists and organizers. She also came up with a pretty good slogan, “Si, se puede.” Yes, we can.

Last week, 7 courageous aid workers with @WCKitchen were killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza while trying to feed starving people.

Gaza: 3 in 4 school buildings across the Strip have sustained damage.

All @UNRWA schools are closed, depriving the 300,000 children who attended them of their education.

End to conflict is imperative for a return to learning in Palestine⬇️ https://t.co/8KowliNDRq

Humanitarian #CeasefireNOW

[Save the Children International @save_children]

1 child is killed every 10 minutes in Gaza right now.

Time is costing lives. We are calling for an immediate ceasefire.

There is no safe place in Gaza. #StopTheWarOnChildren

[Save the Children International @save_children]

3,195 children killed in #Gaza in just three weeks has surpassed the annual number of children killed across the world's conflict zones since 2019. We are calling for an immediate ceasefire.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I reiterate my appeal for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, together with the unconditional release of hostages & the delivery of relief at a level corresponding to the dramatic needs of the people in Gaza, where a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in front of our eyes.

A group of women come out on the streets of Kabul today to protest against the Taliban’s closure of all beauty salons in Afghanistan.

The women chanted "bread, work, justice". The Taliban used water cannons & gunshots disperse the protesters.
