Posts, protests, etc are helpful and informative. But until the mindset of society switches to one of community, awareness, acceptance, respect, and compassion, nothing will change. Real work is confronting our own bias and making changes to behaviors that remove color/caste based power.

Remember the "Hands Off" protests a few months back, and how the media was barely covering, playing down crowd size?
No ignoring what's happening now. People at the top can't hide from this.

Language depends on context. Instead of making everything a reason to continue down this path of division, discuss solutions to move forward. Spreading a message of connection, acceptance, peace, and compassion. When the entire system collapses, those who can work together will survive.

Traumatized children become traumatized adults. If we want to change the future, it starts with making sure every single child, no matter where they live, who their parents are, or how they identify is loved, safe, respected, and provided for.

The consequences of a U.S. or Israeli conflict with Iran would be catastrophic. The Iran-Iraq War, which lasted eight years, left deep scars on the lives of millions, with children bearing the brunt.

For decades, the US political establishment has treated war with Iran as an inevitability. We must reverse course.

The pause in fighting gave Gaza’s children a brief chance to heal. In six weeks, Save the Children delivered lifesaving aid to 51,000 people.
Now, that aid is blocked, and violence has resumed—putting children in grave danger. Denying aid is a death sentence. We must demand action.

This includes child care workers.
Caregiving, organizing and mutual aid — work long associated with women and dismissed as peripheral or apolitical — can be the critical acts of resistance that make revolution possible.
Reproductive Labor Has Always Been Fundamental to Social Movements’ Resistance
Reproductive labor — like cooking, child care and distributing mutual aid — serves as the lifeblood of social movements.
