DESCRIPTION:Join CODEPINK Congress as we educate, activate and mobilize for peace 
 legislation!\n\nAs Israel cordons off Rafah to bomb more civilians–with 
 over a million trapped in the southern end of Gaza, US police surround 
 college encampments from one end of this country to another, arresting 
 thousands of students protesting genocide, even shooting rubber bullets at 
 UCLA protesters to send dozens to the hospital.\n\nThis time the revolution 
 is being televised at an estimated 200 colleges in the US–others in 
 Britain and Canada–live streaming their demands for universities to 
 disclose, divest and demilitarize their stock holdings in Israel and war 
 profiteers–Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, General 
 Dynamics, Elbit Systems–to evict the war profiteers from campus.\n\nJoin 
 us as we elevate the student protest movement under attack from thugs with 
 metal poles and chemical sprays, from police who either fail to protect or 
 also attack student resisters, from an Israel lobby that targets 
 progressive lawmakers, from a President who makes it sound as though the 
 peaceful protesters are the problem, and from a Congress that fuels 
 genocide with another $26 billion in arms to Israel and passes legislation 
 in the House  to criminalize anti-Zionist speech.\n\nAll power to our youth 
 on the front lines!\n\nFeatured Guests:\nNour: a Palestinian, coordinates 
 CODEPINK’s Palestine campaign that offers a toolkit for petitions, 
 ceasefire resolutions, film recommendations for teach-in’s and more.. A 
 graduate from DePaul University in Chicago with a bachelor’s degree in 
 international studies, Nour has been organizing with campus protesters in 
 Chicago and providing support nationwide with letter-writing campaigns to 
 back up student demands for university divestment from corporations 
 profiting from Israel’s genocide.\n\nMoataz Salim: a PhD student in 
 clinical psychology at George Washington University whose family is from 
 Gaza, has been an organizer of the encampment at GWU that began on April 
 25. Before that, he had been joining CODEPINK in Congress almost every day 
 for the past 3 months, pushing for a ceasefire and no more weapons to 
 Israel.\n\nJulia Norman: a MA student at American University studying 
 Global Environmental Policy, and the new DC Coordinator for CODEPINK.  She 
 joins CODEPINK each day lobbying in Congress and spends her free time at 
 the ongoing protest outside the Israeli Embassy.\n
