We — a Black, Palestinian, and Jewish coalition — disrupted @ADL’s US-Israel police exchanges.

We're fighting for a world where we create safety through solidarity. Not racist, militarized police using tactics honed by an occupying apartheid state.

And when we fight, we win. 🧵 Image
To build a safer world for all, we must permanently end all US-Israel police exchanges — as well as demilitarize, defund, and abolish police and end Israeli occupation and apartheid.

Our successful pressure on @ADL, the leading funder of police exchanges, is a key first step.
The budget and reputation crisis our Deadly Exchange campaign created for @ADL testifies to the power of solidarity across struggles and communities, and of a vision of safety that includes us all.

Organizing and coalition-building WORKS.

We are celebrating — and escalating! Image
As yesterday's leaked memo reveals, @ADL "paused" its US-Israel police exchanges after our campaign made the programs too costly and controversial to continue.

We forced @ADL to admit that, by training in Israel, US police might be further militarized and likelier to use force. ImageImage
But, instead of truly grappling with how it is "contributing to the problem" of racist police violence, @ADL only "paused" its programs — secretly — due to concerns about money and optics.

It didn't address the harm its exchanges caused, and it has since vowed to continue them.
This means that NOW is the time to:

1) pressure @ADL to PERMANENTLY end its US-Israel police exchanges, and

2) encourage progressive orgs to #DropTheADL, since it yet again showed it only cares about the optics of anti-racism, not actually reducing harm to communities of color. Image
Look out for alerts from us about actions, virtual rallies, and petitions to keep the pressure on @ADL and progressive orgs that still think @ADL advocates for "civil rights."

And read more about yesterday’s leaked internal memo that revealed how a multiracial coalition successfully pressured @ADL into "pausing" its US-Israel police exchanges and admitting they might make US police more violent:

On August 18, the Trump regime — at the urging of pro-genocide politicians like Marco Rubio and Laura Loomer — announced it would freeze all visas for Palestinians from Gaza seeking to enter the US. 

Nearly two years into funding the genocide that continues to cause thousands of life-altering injuries, the US is deliberately exacerbating the violence it is funding by denying safe passage, life-saving medical care, and freedom of movement to the very people it is helps injure. 🧵Image
As Jews who know our history, we recognize that the US denying entry to, and hindering the movement of, Palestinians facing genocide is the same violent tactic that was used to target our Jewish families fleeing state violence before and during World War II.

When the MS St. Louis circled the coast of Florida in 1939, carrying 907 European Jews fleeing Nazi persecution, it was President Roosevelt who made the infamous choice to deny them entry to the United States, forcing them to return to Nazi Germany and their deaths.
It was a choice for the US government to deny safe passage to 907 Jews fleeing Nazi persecution. And right now, as the Israeli military drops bombs drop on over 2 million displaced and starved Palestinians, we know that it is the choice of Israeli officials to enact genocide on Palestinians.

It was a choice for our government to send $30 billion to the Israeli military over the last 22 months, and it is the choice of our elected officials to continue to not call for an arms embargo.

“This is the last call from Gaza City for all the foreign journalists in the world.” — Palestinian journalist Mohammed Asad
Journalists across Palestine are issuing an urgent appeal: This is the final call for international journalists to pressure their governments and come to Gaza.
This call follows the deliberate assassination of a group of Palestinian journalists inside Nasser hospital and the subsequent acceleration of the Israeli military’s occupation of Gaza City.

To the Israeli government, even Palestinian trees pose a so-called security threat. 

This past weekend, in just three days, the Israeli military uprooted 10,000 olive trees in al-Mughayyir village, in the occupied West Bank. Some of the trees were over 100 years-old. Image
The Israeli military’s Central Command Chief Avi Bluth said about the order: "Uprooting the trees was intended to deter everyone. Not just this village, but any village."
This act of environmental destruction is collective punishment, aimed at destroying Palestinian livelihood and severing Palestinian connection to their land. We stand with Palestinians in al-Mughayyir, as they grieve the loss of 10,000 olive trees.

Educators for Palestine Claims Victory Against Racism and Hate, Despite NEA Board Decision 🧵 Image
Washington, D.C. | Educators for Palestine is deeply disappointed with the decision of the National Education Association’s Board of Directors to nullify the majority vote to “Drop the ADL” at its recent convention.

This action was taken despite the fact that the July 2025 NEA Representative Assembly delegates took the historic step to direct the NEA to, “not use, endorse, or publicize any materials from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL),” such as its curricular materials or its statistics.
On Friday, July 18, the NEA Board of Directors voted not to act on NBI#39, a resolution that called for ending NEA’s use of ADL materials, professional development, and data. Succumbing to pressure put on the NEA by outside, right-wing groups like the ADL, harms union power.

When Israel launched its assault against Palestinians in Gaza, violence in the occupied West Bank skyrocketed, another front in its war of annihilation. Since October 7, 2023, settlers and the Israeli military have killed at least 1,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. In the first six months of 2025, settlers carried out over 2,000 attacks in full coordination with the Israeli military.Image
These attacks are far from isolated incidents; they are a key part of the Israeli government’s policy of de facto annexation. The Israeli military both enables and relies on settlers to carry out violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, like home demolitions and land grabs, in order to further the Israeli government’s goals of ethnic cleansing and total occupation.
After a temporary ceasefire agreement was reached in Gaza in January of this year, Israel accelerated its theft of Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank. Just days after the agreement came into effect, the Israeli military launched “Operation Iron Wall” that targeted refugee camps including Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nur Shams.

Yesterday, 12 countries announced their commitment to a full arms embargo on the Israeli government. The resolution comes out of an emergency summit in Bogota where members of the Hague Group gathered to coordinate legal and diplomatic action to counter the “climate of impunity” for Israeli war crimes that is enabled by the US and other countries.Image
Over 30 nations gathered in Bogota this week, including Algeria, Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil, Chile, China, Cuba, Djibouti, Honduras, Indonesia, Iraq, Ireland, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Mexico, Namibia, Nicaragua, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Portugal, Spain, Qatar, Turkey, Slovenia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Uruguay, and Venezuela.Image
So far, Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Indonesia, Iraq, Libya, Malaysia, Namibia, Nicaragua, Oman, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and South Africa have signed on to a set of six concrete measures that constitute a comprehensive arms embargo. The group says, “These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable. [These measures] break the ties of complicity with Israel’s campaign of devastation in Palestine.”Image
