Today is not an easy day for me that comes with lots of painful reminders. This is my attempt to pay tribute to the Israeli and Palestinian peacebuilders who have been a source of strength to me since 10/7. @jstreetdotorg.bsky.social 📸: @giligetz.bsky.social nyunews.com/ops/guestess...

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

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". Our VP @giligetz.bsky.social spoke at Monday's “Jews Say No More” rally in NYC. www.progressiveisrael.org/blog-post-je...

(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. *Please do not bring flags.*

NYC: Join us Monday, August 4 at 6:30pm by Trump Hotel in Columbus Circle. We need to keep up the pressure and get more food and aid into Gaza NOW before more Palestinians die of starvation. (1/2)
