CHICAGO: We’re out in the streets to show #GenocideJoe (@POTUS) that he’s not welcome in our city while he funds and supports #GazaGenocide. #GetOutofRafah #RafahUnderAttack

As young Black people seek to make sense of the rapidly changing world around them, we need your help to keep up with the number of young people seeking to join our political home at Assata’s Daughters. This #GivingTuesday, donate to AD!⬇️ assatasdaughters.org/donate-1

In the tradition of the generations before them, young people are rising to meet the moment and confront oppression on all fronts. Political homes, where they can learn, grow, build community, and organize with their peers, are more important now than they have ever been.

With the help of all of our Sustainers, love from our community, and the work and guidance of AD young people, we’ve been able to do our radical work. To continue it, we need the support of every one of you. Donate to Assata's Daughters on this #GivingTuesday

Today we honor the diverse Native people of this land on the National Day of Mourning known by the United States as “Thanksgiving.” #DayOfMourning #LandBack #Solidarity #EthnicCleansing #Genocide #FreePalestine #ZionismIsRacism

Western mental health teaches “I don’t owe anyone anything” but communal cultures and populations have been teaching for centuries longer than the existence of western medicine the counter, “we owe one another everything.”

May we see Palestine, Sudan, Congo, and more free. May we see oppressors fail, May we see the oppressed win Ameen 🗣️🗣️🗣️

We call upon all our communities and co-strugglers to take immediate action: to get informed, to spread awareness, to speak out and up, to organize, mobilize, and to commit to standing on the right side of history. 🧵

Stop calling it a war. Gaza is not a state. Gaza is colonised territory, under siege by a nuclear power. Hamas is not an army. Hamas is a resistance movement. Colonised people have the right to armed resistance under international law. Call it what it is: Israel waging genocide.

This is not a war “between Hamas and Israel” this is a World War waged on the Palestinian People by superpowers and media machines and giant corporations and reactionaries.

it’s wild to me that condemning these attacks can be so controversial that people feel as if they can only talk about saving Palestinian children. Palestinian adults should live, too. Must live
