you can choose to direct your efforts away from orgs that remain silent on genocide. look to local leftist & black/brown ppl-led orgs that have been doing this work for years. look at your skillset, ask what you can contribute. no effort or time is too little.

but 2- if this is what gets ordinary ppl mobilized, then why not?
corollary to 2- if you attended or this is your 1st time, great! do something w/ your momentum. you don’t have to wait for big orgs to mount an action.

i generally have nuanced feelings about protests by big organizers like this. 1- some funding is probably from big or z1onist donors. if not then they are likely run with establishment dems approval in mind.

like, it’s great that the national march this weekend brought so many people out to protest & yes, not all coalitions will always agree w/ each other 100% but if one of the central issues of contention is a genocide that our tax dollars go to, what kind of a mainstream movement is that?

Video of Hossam from a few weeks ago. He was only 23 years old.

He was only 5 years old when Israel’s blockade of Gaza started 18 years ago.
