Tell Elected Officials to FREE MAHMOUD KHALIL!
On March 8th, Mahmoud Khalil, a permanent U.S. resident and student activist advocating for Palestinian rights, was forcibly taken from his New York apartment by agents of the Department of Homeland Security. Mahmoud's abduction is a direct attack on his political speech and activism in support of Palestinian liberation and an end to the ongoing violence in Gaza.
Mahmoud is now being held in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, reportedly moved out of New York, and faces imminent deportation. His wife, a U.S. citizen, is eight months pregnant. This is a blatant act of state repression, targeting those who speak out against injustice.
We cannot allow this fascist escalation to go unchallenged. It is critical that we mobilize overwhelming public pressure to demand Mahmoud's immediate release and hold elected officials accountable for protecting student activists and immigrants from government overreach.
Email your elected officials and urge them to take immediate action to stop the targeting of student activists and immigrants.
This is a moment to resist state repression and stand in solidarity with Mahmoud and all those fighting for justice. Let us make it clear: we will not allow our communities to be silenced or terrorized. |
