Starvation. The unacceptable face of Israel’s war on Gaza.

A doctor from an international aid agency took these pictures 10th April at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.

The desperate parents gave permission to publish these.

Two authoritarian governments are putting millions of people in harm’s way. Further escalation only serves these warmongering, corrupt politicians' interests.

We urge Israel, Iran, and all parties to de-escalate now before this escalates into a broader regional war.

In this dangerous moment I pray that the people and leaders of Iran, Israel, and my country the United States might reflect on these words spoken by Dr. King 57 years ago this month:

“We still have a choice today: nonviolent coexistence or violent co-annihilation.”

We won’t have to wait long to see what Biden will do if Netanyahu does not respond to his demand for a major change in Israel’s humanitarian policy in Gaza. If Bibi doesn’t respond by dramatic moves to send everything he can through Israeli passages in the coming days, Biden will…

The level of civilian death in Gaza is intolerable, with families, children, and now aid workers killed throughout this war. The humanitarian crisis must be addressed with substantial aid, and we must have an agreement to immediately bring an end to the violence in Gaza, protect…

We nonviolently shut down the Sky Train intersection. 19 workers, faith and community leaders, and elected officials were arrested.

It’s past time for the City of Phoenix, AZ to investigate alleged racial disparities for workers at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

No Justice, No Peace!

Proud to stand with my @UNITEHERE union siblings and movement family for racial and economic justice for Sky Harbor Airport workers today, the 56th anniversary of MLK’s assassination as he stood with striking sanitation workers in Memphis. The dream of Beloved Community lives!

Daddy, it's been 56 years, and your presence is still dearly missed. Your words bring comfort and direction despite your absence from your earthly body.

Today’s anniversary of MLK’s courageous speech declaring his opposition to the Vietnam War and his assassination exactly one year later would be a very good day for Biden and thus far silent Democrats in Congress to pledge to end military aid to Israel’s murderous war on Gaza.

Targeting aid workers is a war crime.
Targeting journalists is a war crime.
Targeting hospitals is a war crime.

President Biden must stop enabling war crimes, end the United States' complicity in genocide, and facilitate a lasting ceasefire now.

The prophetic words that my father spoke on April 3, 1968, during his speech 'I've Been to the Mountaintop' still ring true today.

Wisconsin is now the third swing state where the ceasefire protest vote exceeded Biden or Trump’s winning margin in 2020, after AZ and NC. In MI it was 2/3rds, in GA over half.

The numbers are clear: Biden is risking his re-election—and our democracy—to back Netanyahu’s war.

The deaths of seven World Central Kitchen volunteers bringing food to desperately hungry Palestinians is an abhorrent act of indiscriminate bombing by Israeli Defense Forces. It is indefensible and a further dark chapter for the Netanyahu government.
