Authoritarianism at Home & Abroad!
Chat with peacemakers and experts on Zoom:

Dear John,

The loss of civil liberties–freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly–often unfolds incrementally until the government censors us or we censor ourselves for fear of retribution. In Consortium News, former CIA analyst John Kiriakou writes, “The governments of the U.S., U.K. and even Canada have been working hard, sometimes in a coordinated fashion, to silence dissenting voices.” Kiriakou will tell us about his recent interrogation by the US Border Patrol and Canadian Mounted Police following a trip to Greece to discuss Israel’s genocide in Palestine and the threat of regional war in the Middle East.

We will also share updates on legislative attempts to censor students and teachers for Palestine in CA California and Massachusetts–and on Israel’s outlawing of six Palestinian civil society groups while terrorist settlers, in cahoots with the Israeli military, rampage the West Bank.

John Kiriakou is a former C.I.A. counterterrorism officer and a former senior investigator with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. John became the sixth whistleblower indicted by the Obama administration under the Espionage Act—a law designed to punish spies. He served 23 months in prison as a result of his attempts to oppose the Bush administration’s torture program.

Take Action!

<[link removed]>

During the DNC in Chicago, we made our demand for an arms embargo on Israel clear. Time and time again, we heard politicians — including Sen. Tammy Duckworth who told us back in October that she would continue sending weapons to Israel — posing as advocates for women and reproductive rights while arming Israel. They can’t hide from one undeniable fact: Genocide is not feminist. 

Send a letter to the women of the Senate below and tell them: We Need an Arms Embargo on Israel NOW!
