Free Palestine – Let Gaza Live!

Dear Friends:

Although the carnage in Gaza continues, it's clear that the increased organizing and activism in support of a ceasefire and a free Palestine are having a meaningful impact. The Biden administration's decision NOT to block the UN Security Council ceasefire resolution on Monday is historic. Over the past five decades, the US has vetoed some 60 resolutions critical of Israel. Let's build on this momentum, pressing the Biden administration and Congress to follow up with the logical next step of stopping aid to Israel.

I had the privilege to go to Washington DC to join in State of the Union Address protests (March 7) to tell the Biden administration that we demand an immediate, permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the release of hostages and detainees and a massive influx of humanitarian aid to prevent starvation in Gaza. Over 200 of us blocked Pennsylvania Ave., delaying Biden's motorcade and the State of the Union Address. It was a remarkable action. Check out a powerful video montage of the protest here.

In solidarity,

Twenty-one years ago, the United States launchedShock and Aweupon the people of Iraq.The devastating military assault caused massive death and destruction, and further destabilized the Middle East. The people of the region continue to suffer in the aftermath of that unprovoked, illegal war. The precedent set by Bush/Cheney and their minions created the justification for Russia's ongoing assault on Ukraine.

Like most wars, the invasion of Iraq was based on lies. Those lies covered up darker motives based on profits and control for the men at the top. We must remember the US attack in Iraq so we can learn how to stop the next war, and the one after that.
