I’m as guilty as anyone of thinking of my Columbia University undergraduates as “kids.” But here is what I’ve seen them do in the last two weeks: (1/10)

At today’s May Day rally, my family and I marched at the front for justice, dignity, and peace for workers everywhere - including migrants to the USA, and Palestinians. Long live international solidarity!

Room’s filling up at ⁦⁦Rep. Pramila Jayapal⁩ ‘s fundraiser in Seattle today - full of people who believe in justice, sustainability, diversity, & healthy communities. I’m excited to join Representative Jayapal and stand shoulder to shoulder in the progressive delegation from WA!

Such an honor to be with Rep. Pramila Jayapal at her 8th Annual “Building Our America” event in Seattle. Celebrating the ongoing fight for justice, freedom, and an inclusive, multiracial democracy, building power so we can win dignity and prosperity for all, whatever the future brings!

Peaceful, principled gathering here at University of Washington on the Quad; where pro-Peace, pro-Palestinian students are encamped. The speaker is advocating for technology as an avenue for freeing voices and spreading the word. Lies may shout, but in the end, the truth will always win. #FreeSpeech

When speaking up for the human rights of all people, and the critical importance of international law, is criminalized and treated as anti-Semitic hate, you know America has lost the plot. Pro-Palestinian = pro-dignity, pro-justice, and pro-peace. Repeal H.B. 6090!

Shout out to ⁦MSA UW - Seattle⁩ - powerful young Muslim women making change for peace in our communities. Standing up for Palestine is standing for the human rights of all people. I was raised to believe in America “With Liberty and Justice for All.” We stand together!

HAPPENING NOW: Rep. Bob Menendez, who intervened when ICE put their hands on two female colleagues, is speaking outside the ICE facility in Newark, where Mayor Baraka was arrested. MAGA is spreading misinformation. Watch and share the truth from those on the scene.
