We are committing to 30 days of daily action for Palestine in the lead-up to Nakba Day, May 15, the day Palestinians mark the ongoing catastrophe of dispossession, occupation and exile. The Nakba didn’t end in 1948, it continues today with Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza, the theft of land, and the silencing of Palestinian voices. We’re calling on you to show up every day for 30 days for Gaza. Why? Because silence is not an option. Because the genocide is happening with U.S. support. Let’s build toward Nakba Day with relentless love and resistance!

Dear John, These are urgent times. People are disappeared and beaten for expressing solidarity with Palestine. Trump and Congress approve another tranche of 2,000 pound bombs for Israel’s genocide in Gaza, where Israel continues to block food, water and medicine. Trump’s latest executive orders unleash local police to assist in mass raids of immigrant communities, and encourage the Attorney General to pursue sanctuary cities with “legal remedies” against state and local officials for “obstruction” of law enforcement officers “carrying out their duties.” The Washington Post reports the FBI is ramping up investigations into leaks to the news media, “in some cases using polygraph tests that current and former officials say are creating a climate of fear and intimidation.” Throughout its history, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has tracked and monitored domestic political movements-and its war on dissent is far from over. In his upcoming book, The Imperial Bureau, author Chip Gibbons explains how the FBI became an intelligence agency and launched the modern national security state. Chat with peacemakers and
experts
