Today, the US and Israel bombed a girlβs elementary school in Iran. At least 85 girls are dead. They were between 7 and 12 years old. They were in class when the bombs hit. Backpacks and schoolbooks in the rubble. Call it what it is: war.
Trump bypassed Congress, violated the Constitution, and dragged us into a conflict we didn't choose and will pay for with lives and money that should be going to families, schools, and healthcare.
This is what "freedom" imposed by bombs looks like. It is not the place of the U.S. to decide the future of Iran or any soverign nation. Only its people can do that.
This is a feminist issue. Women and children bear the brunt of every war that men in power start. First displaced. First bombed. Last evacuated.
We are in deep solidarity with the everyday people of Iran. We grieve with everyone suffering. We oppose this war.
Keep eyes on Sudan.
Nearly three years on, the war has caused the largest displacement crisis in the world today.
The humanitarian needs are as urgent as when the crisis began.
Most of all, the people of Sudan need peace.
