U.S. & Israeli empire tremble against Palestinians armed only with sheer determination to be free, & a spoon.

@palyouthmvmt protested powerfully at the Israeli embassy to #FreeThemAll, demonstrating against carceral violence & for steadfast solidarity with Palestinians.

"One day all the prisons that have stood in Palestine will fall, & in their place our people will live lives painted by the colors of freedom & dignity."

6 Palestinian prisoners—Mahmoud Arda, Mohammed Arda, Yacoub Qadri, Ayham Kamamji, Zakaria al-Zubaidi, Monadel Naifat—who freed themselves make us hopeful.

District 8 for Justice organizer & USCPR advocacy & organizing fellow Alex reminded us that prisoner should be free.

"We must fight for freedom for all human beings being incarcerated, all victims of state violence & U.S. empire from DC to Palestine, to Arlington Ice detention centers, & immigration facilities across the U.S." -Alex, District 8 for Justice organizer & USCPR fellow

"The carceral system is not here to keep us safe. It's not here to make our communities safe, to make sure we have enough love & care.

Prisons are used as a means of colonial & state violence to protect the interests of the state and the capitalist class."

Onward as we build toward a world without corporate greed & where Black & Indigenous people are not criminalized for conditions of poverty our world creates.

Every prisoner is a political prisoner, & every prisoner should be free.
