🌟Incredible news🌟 @repbettymccollum just introduced legislation to ban Israel from using US military aid to detain Palestinian children. Congresswoman McCollum continues to be one of the few brave, bold leaders for Palestinian human rights in Congress so send her your love ❤️https://bit.ly/2vwQo5U And stay tuned. We've got a lot of work to do. #nowaytotreatachild
‪This evening, in front of @nypost HQ. We stand together, always.‬ ‪#BoycottNYPost #StandWithIlhan @ilhanmn
#PalestineExists
Since the beginning of 2019, Israeli forces have killed six Palestinian children. Between March and December 2018, Israeli forces killed at least 183 Palestinian demonstrators in Gaza, including 35 children, 3 paramedics, and 2 journalists. Around 700 Palestinian children are arrested and prosecuted by the Israeli military every year, with 3 out of 4 experiencing physical violence. Israel is the only country in the world that automatically prosecutes children in a military court system. We can pretty much count on two hands the number of US politicians who have consistently spoken out or taken action against these or any other of Israel's ongoing, systemic, and grave human rights violations against Palestinians. So when @ilhanmn asks why, and when she demands change, it's not antisemitism. It's brave leadership from someone fighting for human rights. Once again - and we'll keep saying this: we #StandWithIlhan · · · [Photo: Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images]
‪Over 40 homes across the US and Canada tonight are gathering to say: Angela, you are welcome at this Shabbat. ‬ ‪#ShabbatWithAngelaDavis ‬#TorahOfAngelaDavis
The tables are set, the #TorahOfAngelaDavis is ready. Tonight, across the city, we will welcome Shabbat, sing, read, pray, and learn together at #ShabbatForAngelaDavis [Link in bio]
Today, in the light of ongoing attempts to smear @ilhanmn as antisemitic and attacks against her fueled by racism and Islamophobia, we are reflecting on this quote from the #TorahOfAngelaDavis: “Antisemitism and racism are historically linked. Calling up one unleashes the other.” #IStandWithIlhan #ShabbatWithAngela
Again, for the people in the back. #IStandWithIlhan
