All hands on deck for @Britt4Congress! #NY11 deserves a candidate who will fight for justice, freedom, and dignity for all people from NYC to Palestine.
Home stretch - can you volunteer for Brittany tonight and tomorrow on #ElectionDay? Pick your shift! 👇
Tomorrow is #ElectionDay in Michigan, Missouri, and Washington. That means ✨5 ✨of JVP Action PAC's stellar endorsed candidates are on the ballot tomorrow.
Here's who they are and how you can help get out the vote during this last day! 🧵
We'll be out canvassing for @RashidaTlaib until the polls close - but even if you're not in Detroit, you can help! Hit the phones for however long you can, to make sure we send Rashida back with a MANDATE from the voters to keep up the fight. #MI12
.@huwaida4mi needs you on the phones! Polling shows that the more people hear her message, the more likely they are to support her campaign. That means outreach today is KEY. Will you send texts to get the word out about Huwaida? #MI10
In order to build a future rooted in justice and freedom for all, we must reckon with the destruction and permanent displacement Palestinians suffered in 1948 in the name of creating the State of Israel.
Without addressing the Nakba and the ongoing attempts by the Israeli government to continue displacing Palestinians to this day, there cannot be a truly just and sustainable peace.
Only a violent and fundamentally flawed system prioritizes military spending over people, and pits communities against one another. Today’s spending bill in Congress does just that. 🧵
Today’s bill supports the rights of some while funding the oppression of others: desperately needed aid to Ukrainian refugees & funding for US communities, but a sky-high Pentagon budget & $5B to Israel’s apartheid regime that created hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees
Pitting communities against each other is not justice.
Whether here in the US, Ukrainians fleeing Russian violence or Palestinians living under Israeli apartheid, all people deserve safety & freedom.
This is a critically important move from @JamaalBowmanNY that sends a clear message: Trump-era weapons deals with authoritarian regimes are not about a just peace and they're at odds with everything progressives are fighting for. Every progressive should join in this 'no' vote.
.@CoriBush is also opposing the bill because it “incentivizes neighboring nations to isolate the Palestinian people and ignore Israel’s apartheid rule.”
@CoriBush As JVPA's @bethavemiller said, “Simply put, it’s bad foreign policy and at odds with everything progressives in Congress are fighting for.”
"For decades, the Israeli apartheid government has faced little to no accountability for its repressive actions. This powerful letter signed by hundreds of civil society organizations shows that the grassroots will no longer allow it." @StefanieLFox Exec Director of @JvpAction
