A must-read from IfNotNow member @robertpeters.bsky.social
“Groups like AIPAC are concerned that if Jewish people like us can speak out against Israel and still win elections, then others who may have been nervously hanging back may feel like they can take bolder action as well.”
Right now, Congress could pass a War Powers Resolution to stop Trump’s illegal use of military force. The vote could happen as soon as today.
Tell your members of Congress to support War Powers Resolutions & do everything in their power to end Trump’s reckless bombing campaign:
The U.S. and Israel are launching unauthorized, illegal strikes against Iran, putting everyone in the region in danger and pulling us all into endless war.
As Jews, we know that fascist demagogues waging war will never make us safer.
Today, we release a letter calling on @massgovernor.bsky.social to support our immigrant communities:
1. Declare sanctuary state
2. Cancel 287g agreement with ICE
3. End voluntary cooperation with ICE
4. Support PROTECT & Dignity Not Deportations Acts

This Purim, when so much hangs in the balance, we’re reminded that the safety of all people is intertwined.
Today, we recommit ourselves to the pursuit of solidarity, accountability, and freedom for all — over domination, unchecked power, and vengeance.
In the story of Queen Esther, we find the courage to use our voices to stand against tyranny and oppression everywhere.

Donald Trump does not care about civilians in the region or the safety of US Troops.
He’s illegally bypassing Congress and starting a war with Iran that has already killed dozens of children. This is unacceptable.
Congress must take action to rein in Trump and save lives.
We stand in solidarity with the civilians of Iran and the entire Middle East, who are already bearing the brunt of this reckless and dangerous attack--including the deadly bombing of an elementary school. This reckless aggression from the US and Israel will make the entire world less safe.

Our tax dollars fund this campaign of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and violate international law.
Email your members of Congress & demand they take immediate action to oppose Israeli settler violence, stop home demolition orders, & block the bombs to the Israeli military.

Tweet from Breaking the Silence (@BtSIsrael) NEW FOOTAGE: A large group of settlers torch homes and vehicles in Susya, then attempt to destroy the security camera to erase the evidence. It’s now Ramadan. The residents had been fasting all day and by night they were forced to flee their homes.
This week, Israeli settlers invaded the village of Susya, setting fire to multiple homes and vehicles and terrorizing local community members.

The Block the Bombs Act is the only way to end US complicity in these atrocities, save lives, & create a pathway toward a just, durable peace for all. Working toward shared safety means funding our communities — not sending bombs and weapons.
Email your reps now to urge them to cosponsor & support:
From IfNotNow member @bradlander.bsky.social in @thenation.com:
“I am announcing my support for HR 3565, the Block the Bombs Act, sponsored by @ramirez.house.gov. This bill bans the Defense Dept from selling Netanyahu’s government the catastrophic weaponry it has used to commit a genocide in Gaza…”
The Conference on the Jewish Left was hopeful, incisive, and galvanizing. Looking forward to all the new connections and collaborations that arise from it!
Glad to see AIPAC’s brand becoming toxic

Happening tomorrow!
On Sunday, Israel’s ultra-right Security Cabinet — whose members include religious extremists, violent settlers, and war criminals — took new measures to rapidly accelerate its theft of Palestinian land and forced displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank.

The authoritarian repression of immigrant protesters in the U.S. illustrates how all liberation struggles are intertwined. Only by protecting our shared democracy & freedom of protest will we all find safety.
tweet from @nycmayor: Leqaa Kordia has spent nearly a year in an ICE prison for exercising her First Amendment rights in NYC & speaking out against the ongoing genocide in Palestine. She was hospitalized after suffering a seizure. Now she's back in detention. This is cruel & unnecessary. Release Leqaa now.
Leqaa Kordia must be released now. Thank you, @mayor.nyc.gov, for your leadership in speaking up for our civil liberties, as well as immigrant rights & Palestinian human rights, amid this fascist ICE surge.

Yes! Say no to #AIPAC. #mapoli @indivisible.org @ruwmi.bsky.social
Judaism demands we resist injustice.
ICE is tearing families apart and terrorizing our communities. On Feb 11, we'll take action in front of ICE headquarters to demand an end to this violent system and show the US Jewish community stands with our neighbors.

See you there!
