Our work for Gaza continues even with a so-called “cease-fire”

The people of Gaza are still reeling from this latest aggression on the strip. 46 Palestinians including 17 children were brutally murdered, and hundreds more were wounded, as Israel indiscriminately decimated apartment buildings and neighborhoods around Gaza. Adding insult to injury, the Biden administration sided with the aggressors instead of the victims, expressing support for Israel’s “right to defend itself” even though it’s an illegal occupier that launched an unprovoked attack against the defenseless people it besieges.

As an organization, we are always prepared for these crises. That’s why as Israel escalated their attacks, we took action. Around the country, we took the streets, organized community leaders, and galvanized nationwide supporters.

Here’s what we’ve done in a matter of days:

• We brought out thousands of people to protest US complicity in Israel’s attack on Gaza by organizing demonstrations in major cities across the country, including DC, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Dallas.
• We released multiple statements to galvanize the community and demand action from our leaders, and we released a social media fact sheet that was utilized by thousands of supporters.
• We hosted a community Qiyam session in Dallas, TX to unite in support of the Palestinian people and against these atrocities.
• We posted (and continue to post) social media content on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram that sheds light on the atrocities that Israel committed in Gaza.
