Healthcare is a human right, and NYSNA is proud to rally alongside to demand #ICEOUT of our hospitals and the city.

Hospitals should be welcoming to everyone who needs care, regardless of immigration status.

#ArmsEmbargoNow

[Jews for Racial & Economic Justice Action @JFREJNYC]

A year of violence & the Israeli government continues to kill hundreds of families in Gaza. Wall Street continues to profit from genocide. So hundreds of Jews & allies are shutting down the NY Stock Exchange NOW, demanding: Arms Embargo & Ceasefire Now. Fund Care, not Genocide.

[Jason Rosenberg @mynameisjro]

HAPPENING NOW: OVER 500 JEWS AND ALLIES SHUT DOWN THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE FOR GAZA. “GAZA BOMBED, WALL STREET BOOMS. FUND HEALTHCARE, HOUSING, FEMA, NOT GENOCIDE.” @jvplive @jvpliveNY

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

BREAKING: At this very moment, the Israeli military is massacring family after family in North Gaza in a war of extermination. So hundreds of Jews and friends are shutting down the New York Stock Exchange to demand the US stop arming Israel and profiting from genocide.

“If people are attacking black and brown people on the street, that is not individual acts of thuggery. That is racial violence."

Labour MP Diane Abbott calls out Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for calling the recent UK riots “far-right thuggery”.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Netanyahu’s right-wing, extremist government is violating international & US law and has created a humanitarian disaster in Gaza.

Today, I announced that I will file Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to stop the sale of U.S. arms to Israel and end our complicity in this disaster.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Imagine an Iranian newspaper featured the equivalent front page, if Hezbollah had launched the same attacks on Israel.

It would be presented as evidence of Iranian barbarism.

I know it, you know it, we all know it

[Jewish Voice for Peace Action @JvpAction]

BREAKING: @SenSanders has just announced he will introduce a Joint Resolution of Disapproval to block Biden admin weapons sales to Israel.

Tell your Senators to block the bombs and stop fueling Israel's genocide of Palestinians.

[BDS movement @BDSmovement]

BREAKING: With an overwhelming majority, and for the first time in 42 years, the UNGA today voted for imposing sanctions on Israel!

The world’s global majority affirmed that the historic ruling by the ICJ triggers the legal obligation of all states to end complicity in Israel’s illegal occupation and apartheid regime.

States have the duty to impose a comprehensive #MilitaryEmbargo as well as trade, energy, academic, and other sanctions, as was done against apartheid South Africa.

[DEACTIVATED @thrasherxy]

For no reason at all, I find it very amusing that less than two years ago, Northwestern's official magazine published a cover story titled "Bearing Witness:
Steven Thrasher has spent his career reporting on social justice. Why can’t he stop fighting?" https://t.co/NflPtlT9x0

[Mona Eltahawy @monaeltahawy]

“What they don’t like is that I am now applying the same social justice journalism principles that I’ve applied to race and that I’ve applied to LGBTQ people, to COVID and HIV, that I was now applying those to Palestine,” says Thrasher. Love and solidarity @thrasherxy ❤️✊🏽💜

[Kerry Sinanan @kerry_sinanan]

Anti-racist protests are really important but they do not root out the white supremacy that structures all of British society. White people need to undertake more commitments to decentering themselves, to listening to BIPOC, to knowing they are complicit and then refusing to be.
