Our statement condemning the horrific murders of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim:
Win Without War condemns murders of Israeli embassy staff Washington – Win Without War Executive Director, Sara Haghdoosti, released the following statement on the murders of two Israeli embassy staff members: “We unequivocally condemn the murders of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, and our hearts go out to their family and loved ones. “This kind of violence is horrific, inexcusable, and unjust. It does nothing to ease the plight of Palestinians in Gaza, and betrays the millions of people across the country and the world who seek peace and justice for Israelis and Palestinians alike. We mourn the loss of Yaron and Sarah, and continue to work for a world where every person can live with dignity and thrive without the threat of violence.”

Martin Luther King, Jr. fought to end our nation's deliberate neglect and abuse of Black Americans. He was relentlessly targeted by our government for his views and pursuit of equality.

At this pivotal moment, we honor his legacy by fighting injustice in all its forms, with everything we've got.
Black and white photo of Martin Luther King, Jr. with quote "We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil." the quote is attributed to Martin Luther King, Jr. In the photo, Dr. King is wearing a suit and tie, standing at a podium speaking.
