Friend,
Our organization began with the simple mission of educating young people and activists about Israel's ongoing policy of apartheid in Palestine and arming them with the knowledge to demand change from US politicians.
As an organization, it’s time for us to continue educating people with the aim of demanding change from US politicians who are failing us the most.
In our last email, we detailed how members of the House Progressive Caucus failed to sign onto calls for an FBI investigation into the Israeli killing of American journalist Shireen Abu-Akleh. You’ll also remember last October when Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez voted “present” on a bill that gave Israel $1 billion for its Iron Dome missile defense system.
We need to center our fight on the political reality in front of us- and the fact is that a large swath of Democrats in the House ‘Progressive’ Caucus is actively complicit in funding the right-wing Israeli government.
It’s time we focus on calling out these contradictions, which is why we are changing the name of our organization from End the New Apartheid to End Progressive Apartheid.
