Palestinians rose up for liberty & justice this past May & June - now they're facing insurmountable legal fees after being incarcerated by the Israeli gov

#FreeThemAll

“What we've seen in the last few days is repression and brutality against the bodies of young Palestinian detainees…” The words of Palestinian lawyer Soheir Asaaad describing the aftermath of May protests against Israel’s occupation #FreeThemAll

Israel acted swiftly and violently to quell these mass mobilizations. The widespread participation of Palestinians citizens of Israel triggered Israel’s brutal response. 2000+ Palestinians who participated in May protests were arrested. 200 were indicted—85 of them under 18

Just like incarceration in the US, the majority of Palestinians arrested or indicted are young and working-class. Mass incarceration is used by Israel as a disciplining mechanism as well as to weaken Palestinians' social and political base

The Israeli gov has refused to release Palestinian children in its custody & continues using horrific tactics of physical + psychological intimidation to produce coerced confessions

Support Palestinian families. Support the Dignity + Hope Fund: dignityfund-baladna.com

@Amazon

BREAKING —Nearly 500 @Amazon & @Google workers just joined forces to demand *both* companies cut their contract to provide cloud services to Israel's apartheid gov & military

Read their joint letter in the @guardian here: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Here’s why this is HISTORIC ⬇️

@Amazon

This past summer — while the Israeli military leveled residential buildings and clinics in Gaza, killing 248 Palestinians (including over 60 children) that week alone — @Amazon & @Google announced their new cloud contract with the Israeli government: #ProjectNimbus

@Amazon

Among other things, Project Nimbus will power Israeli apartheid. Workers don't want to build tech that will power violence and human rights abuses against Palestinians

Their #1 ask? For @Amazon + @Google to stop doing business with Israeli apartheid

@NYGovCuomo

Shakoure remains in ICE detention bc DHS is withholding vital docs that could prove his citizenship & set him free

ICE's motivations are rooted in anti-Black Islamophobia & not much else

Join us to demand @NYGovCuomo pardon Shakoure ➡️ mpowerchange.org/CallShakoure

#FreeShakoure 1/4

Shakoure's case illustrates the effects of anti-Blackness, Islamophobia & xenophobia in our carceral system. Shakoure already served 24.5 years in prison for the felony that triggered his arrest

But a pardon from Cuomo could end court proceedings & set him free #FreeShakoure 2/4

Shakoure—a Black Muslim youth mentor from Queens—shouldn't be going through this. Especially not from a jail cell while #COVID19 ravages jails across the US

This public health crisis continues to violate imprisoned ppl's human rights #FreeShakoure 3/4

BREAKING: It’s now official — Trump is expanding the Muslim Ban to cover 6 new countries, with a focus on targeting families. Here’s what we all need to know — please RT if you can. THREAD. #StandWithMuslims #NoMuslimBanEver #RepealTheBan

@NILC

@NILC @ZahraBilloo @lsarsour @CAIRNational @CAIRSFBA @aaaj_alc @AvidehNILC This expansion blocks immigration visa's from Eritrea, Nigeria, Burma, Kyrgyzstan and diversity visas from Sudan and Tanzania.

This would hurt families, blocking them from joining their children, spouses, or parents in the US

@NILC

@NILC @ZahraBilloo @lsarsour @CAIRNational @CAIRSFBA @aaaj_alc @AvidehNILC This moment demands we take to the streets. Remember the airport events nationwide when the Muslim Ban was first announced? We need that energy now.

Please RSVP to a #StandWithMuslims event, or create an event yourself, here: nomuslimbanever.com/action

...then come back here.

@PalantirTech

In light of news that ICE used facial recog software to mine state driver databases & track down immigrants—it's extra crucial to break down the relationship between ICE, @PalantirTech & @awscloud (which houses Rekognition, @Amazon's facial recog software) #AmazonVSImmigrants
