Tonight I voted for a ceasefire in Gaza.
I also abstained on the question of a humanitarian pause, as it in no way fits the bill of what is required to end the violence.

—Frantz Fanon

In solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸
We are imagining, co-building and growing capacity for a world towards liberation. We stand with the people and allies of Palestine. There is a longstanding lineage and interdependence between Black liberation and Palestinian liberation movements.
We are millions to feel powerless witnessing from afar the genocide currently unfolding against Palestinians of Gaza. Fighting this powerlessness means organizing for tomorrow to support, at our own scale, the Palestinian struggle for liberation.
