Your activist scoop: No ICE, No War, Free Palestine

Hi Kathryn,   Today is May Day. Across the country, workers, students and families everywhere are walking out, marching, protesting, and fighting back. Hundreds of organizations and unions are mobilizing with these demands: workers over billionaires, no ICE, and no war.    A free Palestine is an essential part of our demands. The same government that is sending bombs to Israel is also cutting school budgets, deporting immigrants, and making working families pay for the destruction and violence through their tax dollars.    Our fight continues. Read the latest updates below.

Your Activist Scoop OUR GOVERNMENT'S GUILT Israel is still blocking humanitarian aid from entering Gaza. The Trump administration has worsened this genocidal starvation by eliminating critical funding for UNRWA.1   In the West Bank, an Israeli army reservist shot and killed 14-year-old Palestinian child Aws al-Naasan and 32-year-old Jihad Abu Naim outside a school in al-Mughayyir.2   The U.S. and Israel have killed 2,521 people in bombings on Lebanon since March 2.3 The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, which Trump launched without congressional approval, has killed at least 3,375 people, costing the U.S. an estimated $40-50 billion so far.4   All of this is backed by our tax dollars, and Congress has the power to say no. EMAIL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES NOW YOUR IMPACT

Since the historic Senate vote on weapons to Israel on Tax Day, four more House representatives signed on to the Block the Bombs Act, The bill now has 68 total cosponsors thanks to your protests, emails, handwritten letters, and constant pressure.5 Watch this video from Rep. Delia Ramirez to learn more about her bill to block major weapons for Israel.   Students are back in the streets for divestment. At Occidental College, students launched an encampment to demand their university divest from Israel, weapons manufacturers, ICE, and more.6 At Stanford, students organized a protest demanding the university ban Israeli soldiers from campus after one tackled a student during a tabling event.7     At Coachella last weekend, the Strokes closed their set with a montage connecting U.S. intervention from the Congo to Gaza to Iran, as Julian Casablancas asked the crowd: "What side you standing on?"8 WATCH THIS VIDEO FROM REP. DELIA RAMIREZ WHAT YOU CAN DO NEXT

Write a handwritten letter to your members of Congress today, and send it to them in the mail. Demand they block the bombs and vote on the right side of history.    Turn up the heat on your elected officials. Confront them on their stance on the genocide and military funding to Israel. Visit our Not My Tax Dollars toolbox to find how-to guides, letter writing resources, and talking points.   TOMORROW: Join AFSC’s “The State of State Divestment” webinar to learn how organizers in Washington, California, and Minnesota are campaigning for state-level divestment from Caterpillar, Israel bonds, and more.    Donate. Fuel the fight at USCPR Action.
