ketanjoshi.co/2024/04/19/you…. Yikes. This is my last post until there is a sea change here.
Much like how the war in #Sudan didn't begin after one night, ending the war and addressing the humanitarian crisis will require time and dedicated efforts from all involved, including the U.S. aljazeera.com/program/inside…
HOT TIP: There is no military solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict, only a diplomatic and political one. A permanent #ceasefire is necessary for both the hostages to be released and for a political solution to be found.
Happy 4/20 to all who celebrate. Today would be a great day for the Biden administration to fully deschedule & legalize marijuana, expunge records, and repair the harms of the failed war on drugs.
War is not the answer! Congress must vote NO today on sending billions in unconditional aid to Israel, which sends a message of impunity and will escalate the violence. Lawmakers must instead press for immediate regional de-escalation, restraint, and a #ceasefire in Gaza.
.@tparsi was right then and is right now. Israel is dragging us into a regional war of choice and it is getting worse by the day. We need US lawmakers to use all tools at their disposal to press for immediate deescalation, restraint, and a #ceasefire in Gaza.

🧵We are deeply concerned about the news of Israeli military attacks across the Middle East last night -- inside Iran and in Iraq and Syria. cnn.com/2024/04/18/mid…
Tell Congress: Vote NO on more weapons to fuel more escalation and suffering. fcnl.quorum.us/campaign/58978/

We must de-escalate the Middle East & facilitate a lasting ceasefire in Gaza to save lives. Nearly 34,000 Palestinians have been killed, over 100 hostages remain captive, & millions are facing starvation. A regional war would be disastrous and we need a #CeasefireNOW.
War is like a forest fire. All it takes is one spark. If it isn’t contained it spreads. The U.S. has the power and the influence to de-escalate the growing conflict in the Middle East by facilitating a lasting ceasefire. We must extinguish these flames, not fan them.
The path to avoiding a wider war is clear: stop arming Israel and end the genocide in Gaza. @medeabenjamin
If war is not the answer, what is? For @Sojourners, FCNL's @HBrandonSmith lays out concrete, effective approaches the U.S. can take to bolster security and stability without dropping bombs. sojo.net/magazine/may-2…
I condemn Iran’s retaliatory attack on Israel. This escalation is dangerous. The US and the world should be focused on saving lives in the region, securing a ceasefire, releasing the hostages, and surging humanitarian aid to Gaza.
.@FCNL calls on U.S. lawmakers to immediately press for diplomacy, de-escalation, and restraint between Israel and Iran to prevent an even larger conflagration. We also renew our call for a permanent #ceasefire in Gaza and no new weapon sales to Israel. fcnl.org/updates/2024-0…
“There is still a window of opportunity to de-escalate the region but that depends on Congress and the Biden Administration redoubling their efforts to promote diplomacy, de-escalation, restraint, and a ceasefire in Gaza and across the Middle East.” fcnl.org/updates/2024-0…

Happy birthday to my movement brother, partner-in-good, organizer, advocate, educator, legislator and more, @JamaalBowmanNY! It is a joy to know you and to do this Work with you.
Join us today, 3/29, at 12pm ET for the final installment of our #womenshistorymonth series. We’re joined by Sandra Tamari, executive director of @AdalahJustice, who will talk about her work to shift policy and public discourse on #Palestine. Sign up: afsc.org/actionhour
The American people do not want to see hundreds of thousands of people starve. The American people do not want to see small children bombed to death while they sleep. The American people do not want to continue funding Netanyahu’s cruel war.
Proud of my friend and colleague, @AnnelleSheline, for this courageous move to resign from the State Department over Gaza. I hope others follow her lead in support of a #CeasefieNow before more Palestinian and Israeli lives are lost.
Annelle Sheline writes that she decided to resign from her position at the State Department given US policy toward Gaza. "Whatever credibility the United States had as an advocate for human rights has almost entirely vanished since the war began." cnn.com/2024/03/27/opi…
