Calling all #EAA past and present members! A lot of us are not happy with the events of last week, and with EAA's bleak attitute towards the ongoing genocide. Sign this petition for a special meeting, so we can call a vote of confidence against the current board. Thanks!

Are you an #EAA member? Recent events have shaken trust in the Board.
By reinstating Israeli affiliations, the EAA endorsed a regime committing genocide in #Gaza. 🍉
Members are calling for a Special Meeting. Join us!
We need 305 to make it happen.

It's sad to read this, but after almost two years there, I'm not surprised.
