As Ramadan comes to an end, consider making a donation to our fundraiser for the Middle East Children’s Alliance, so the steadfast people of Gaza can be housed, clothed, and fed with dignity and care. Donation link: secure.everyaction.com/6QpeACExNkaVMd…

Eid Mubarak! 🌙 This Eid, we think of all in Gaza facing a third Eid under Israel’s genocide, & all that have faced the endless violence of U.S. imperialism. Every year, because of the brave resistance of our people, we get closer to a liberated world where our people are free!

With our deepest sympathy, Hatem Abudayyeh, on behalf of USPCN’s National Coordinating Committee

We offer our most heartfelt condolences to these dear members and comrades of ours, and to the entire Abu Khamireh family here and in Palestine; and we hope that they can find solace at this difficult time. عظم الله أجركم و الله يرحمها

USPCN is sad to report that Najia Abu Khamireh (Um Farouq) passed away in Qabatyah, a village just south of Jenin in our homeland of Occupied Palestine. Um Farouq was the beloved mother of Sahera, Farouq, Khaled, and Munem, four siblings who are members of @USPCNMKE.

And finally, @FDLAChicago received well-deserved award for legal services, advocacy & organizing on behalf of the under- & unrepresented. Leena Odeh, the ED of FDLA & daughter of AAAN co-founder Camelia Odeh, accepted on the organization's behalf with a beautiful speech!

AAAN is here at @CrossroadsFund's Seeds of Change fundraiser to celebrate the incredible Morgan Elise Johnson and the Black-owned and -operated media outlet, @TheTRiiBE!

Sami w USPCN-Chi: “We denounce and condemn the attacks by the U.S. and Israel, and demand an end to not just this war but an end to the colonial entity of Israel as a whole from the river to the sea."

Chicago: We join People United Against Oppression outside The Israeli Consulate at 500 W Madison as part of international actions on Al Quds Day to march for Palestine & demand #HandsOffIran & #HandsOffLebanon!

We will continue to hold accountable @RepCasten and every other elected official who chooses war, genocide & profit over people! @SeanCasten

@RepCasten has repeatedly voted to send more money to Israel from his district than he ever brings to our communities. That's why he rarely does public events anymore, because USPCN, @AntiWarChicago, @CAARPRNow & others are always there to challenge his lies & genocide apologies.

REMINDER: Our friend & prominent historian Rashid Khalidi is speaking on Sunday, March 15th, at @PilsenCommBooks, with his son Ismail Khalidi!
