🚨 Please join us again in protest to remind the world - we’re not going back to normal when the reality of the people of Gaza, the people of the West Bank and the families of killed hostages is anything but. 🧵

Yesterday a diverse coalition of people and organizations came together to support Palestinian peace activist Mohsen Mahdawi as he continues to be targeted by ICE for exercising his right to free speech. We mustn't let up the fight. #freespeechforall @mhughesrob.bsky.social @giligetz.bsky.social

Kol Nidre service at Lab Shul yesterday with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and Mohsen Mahdawi was moving. Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie led a beautiful, deeply connected service that attendees said they will never forget. One of his best and most powerful sermons. 🧵

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines.

The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible.

Vaccines save lives. Period.

Mass dehumanization led to the Holocaust and to October 7th. We're now seeing it in Gaza and on the WB, and it's "a direct assault on our Jewish values, our shared humanity".

(2/2) This event is a mass mobilization of American Jews who object to our government's continued support for the policy of starvation and refusal to leverage its immense power to compel the admission of humanitarian aid.
