Freedom from War Coalition is working to draw more people into our efforts – not only do we feel deeply that we must all stand against what is occurring in Gaza, we also know there is foundational work that must be done to oppose the doctrines of war.

The Israeli government has abandoned all pretenses for its goal of ethnically cleansing of all Palestinians from their land, accelerating its genocide in Gaza and engineering the largest land theft in the occupied West Bank in over thirty years.

This is a test. Not like a test as not the real thing like a fire drill, but the real thing itself: a test as in all of us are being tested, as in "these are times that try men's souls" and everyone's principles. Who will stand up to the coup/constitutional crisis? Who has already surrendered?

Jewish students at Columbia have chained themselves to a gate (already locked) to protest ICE detentions of student protestors. They accuse members of our board of trustees of providing information about students to ICE and are demanding accountability.

From “walking while trans” arrests to bathroom bans, the criminalization of trans lives is nothing new — it’s a legacy of state control and gender-based policing. What happened to Marcy is part of that legacy. FL lawmakers: We see you. We won't back down.
