Israel has banned #UNRWA from operating! Millions of #Palestinians rely on UNRWA for food, shelter, healthcare, and education. This isn’t just unacceptable; it’s a blatant violation of #humanrights and #internationallaw. It’s time for the #US to cut off all aid to Israel and for the #UnitedNations to take a stand: Israel’s actions violate the #UN Charter. Expel Israel from the UN!
Protestors have staggered disruptions at the Axios #DNC event. Activists are even posted up on the bridge across from the event! ARMS EMBARGO NOW!

even those who don't share her views, through their reactions, at times questionable, to her personal involvement, bear witness to the impact of the advocacy of this woman and to her resolve… her persistent willingness to voice concerns about the decisions, or lack thereof, of elected officials, despite the consequences, elevates her as a role model and a guardian of democratic ideals…

You'll recognise this amazing lady from Code Pink. She's the ultimate peaceful protester.
This is how she gets treated by the police. But she won't give in, she'll keep protesting. I'm in awe at her composure. Big up to Medea Benjamin 👍
If you can, please do follow her on social media (I follow her on TikTok, cos I don't do Meta)
