"My grandfather survived Auschwitz, and that is why I fight for a free Palestine."

The words of Talia Baurer from Jewish Voice for Peace, who was one of 57 people arrested at a solidarity demonstration for the people of occupied Gaza in New York City.

JEWS SAY: STOP THE GENOCIDE OF PALESTINIANS!

Over two-thousand Jews protested in front of the offices and homes of elected officials in NYC, San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle, Indiana, Florida, and Los Angeles to demand action to prevent the genocide of Palestinians.

I’ve spent the past year visiting memorials, monuments, museums, and concentration camps in Germany, exploring how that country remembers the Holocaust. I wanted to understand if there was anything the U.S. could learn. Here’s the story of what I found:

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

As a parent, my heart is broken seeing these faces and their ages.

My condolences to their families during this difficult time 🙏🏻

Xavier Lopez, 10. He was a 4th grader at Robb Elementary.

Your annual reminder that Dr. King believed in guaranteed universal basic income that gave all people a dignified life, guaranteed housing for all, guaranteed access to a high quality education, & said that “no one should be forced to live in poverty while others live in luxury.”

[Craig Melvin @craigmelvin]

Your annual reminder: posting quotes from Dr. King one day out of the year but living a life that runs counter to his teachings the other 364 does not make you an ally in the fight for justice and equality.

[National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) @ncte]

bell hooks reminded us, “To teach in a manner that respects and cares for the souls of our students.” We will remember those words and move them forward.

What does "home" mean to you?

We invite you to read Fady Joudah's “Mimesis,” Nikki Giovanni's "Allowables," & @RudyFrancisco's "Mercy" with your students as a way to begin a discussion about the violence in Palestine & Israel.
