Liberation requires consistency and equal application, and we believe that equality is for everyone, including Palestinians. As artists and organizers living under the Trump regime, we must protect free speech in all its forms and stand up to systemic prejudice wherever we encounter it.

Their repudiation of a symbolic expression of solidarity exposes the uncomfortable truth that these organizations do not believe that all people are equally deserving of the human rights they purport to defend.

4) And while you usually can't tell the true effect of a protest until long after it's over, today's actions have already made a major impact where we most needed it right now: on people's morale. That in itself is a win.

3) A massive decentralized movement like this -- everywhere all at once, with everybody pitching in -- is extremely difficult for any regime, even the most autocratic, to derail. There are too many leaders, coordinating in too many different ways, for a movement like this to be easily neutralized.
