As the genocide in Gaza escalates, so does the mass disabling of Palestinians. Thousands are surviving with life-altering injuries, amputations, and immense trauma—while access to medical care has been systematically destroyed. \n\nSevered is grounded in the story of Mohamad Saleh, a teenager from Gaza who has survived five major Israeli assaults. In those attacks, he lost his home, close family members, his best friends, and—at the age of 12—his leg. Mohamad has lived for years with the physical and emotional impacts of that violence, including surviving genocide with an amputated limb.\n\nHis story reflects the broader reality of thousands of other Palestinians whose disabilities are the direct result of Israel’s systematic violations of international law.\n\n================================================================\n\nCALL TO ACTION\n\n1) Tell Congress to Recognize the Genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza \nhttps://punishgenocide.org\n\n2) Tell Congress: Support the Block the Bombs Act\nhttps://actionnetwork.org/letters/block-the-bombs-act\n\n3) Sign petition: Killer Cargo Out of OAK Now!\nhttps://actionnetwork.org/petitions/oakland-stands-against-genocide-no-killer-cargo-out-of-oak-now-3\n\n4) Tell Google to stop posting Israeli propaganda lies\nhttps://bad-ads.replit.app/\n\n5) Sign petition to Boycott Reebok\nhttps://actionnetwork.org/petitions/boycott-reebok\n\n6) Email Congress: Free Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya \nhttps://actionnetwork.org/letters/free-palestinian-political-prisoners\n\n7) Sign petition to demand local institutions drop Chevron as a corporate sponsor\nhttps://actionnetwork.org/letters/dropchevron\n\n8) Email Capital One: Stop Capitalizing off Genocide\nhttps://actionnetwork.org/letters/capital-one-stop-capitalizing-off-genocide\n\n9) Tell the Washington Post & Wall Street Journal to stop whitewashing the "Board of Peace"\nhttps://www.codepink.org/boardofpeace\n\n10) Sign petition to End Military Support to Israel: \nhttps://sign.moveon.org/petitions/trigger-a-leahy-law-review-of-the-israeli-military-now\n\n11) Email Congress: Free Leqaa Kordia from ICE detention!\nhttps://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-free-leqaa-kordia-from-ice-detention/\n\n12) Call Congress: Free Leqaa Kordia from ICE detention!\nhttps://actionnetwork.org/call_campaigns/call-congress-free-leqaa-kordia-from-ice-detention-now\n\n13) Sign pledge to drop Apartheid from your baggage:\nhttps://actionnetwork.org/petitions/e70360edd4e2a336ac560838d6fc5e425373f140\n\n14) Email Airbnb to Cancel Partnership with FIFA!\nhttps://www.codepink.org/airbnbfifa\n\n15) Contact the White House, your Senators and Representative and urge them to:\n\n✅ [FOR REPRESENTATIVE] Cosponsor H.Res. 876, the Genocide Resolution\n✅ [FOR REPRESENTATIVE] Cosponsor H.R. 3565, the Block the Bombs Act\n✅ [FOR SENATORS] Introduce & advance a Senate companion bill to the Block the Bombs Act (H.R.3565)\n✅ Publicly call for the immediate opening of ALL border crossings for unrestricted humanitarian aid entry into Gaza\n✅ Publicly call for the immediate end to the siege and the occupation of Gaza\n✅ Support an immediate arms embargo to suspend military funding and weapons to Israel\n \n\nWhite House Comment Line \nOpen Monday thru Friday 7am-12pm PST\nComment Line (202) 456-1111\nSwitchboard (202) 456-1414\nWhite House Email Contact Page: https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/\n\nSenator Alex Padilla\n(202) 224-3553 DC office\nSenator Padilla's other office locations: (415) 981-9369 San Francisco office; (916) 448-2787 Sacramento office, (559) 497-5109 Fresno office; (310) 231-4494 LA office; (619) 239-3884 San Diego office\nEmail Contact Page: https://www.padilla.senate.gov/contact/contact-form/\n\nSenator Adam Schiff\n(202) 224-3841 DC office\nEmail: Schiff_California [at] schiff.senate.gov\nWebsite: https://www.schiff.senate.gov/\n\nCongressional Switchboard\n(202) 224-3121\nContact your Representative: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative\n\n==================================================================\n\nFOR OTHER ACTIONS:\nhttps://uscpr.org/pro-palestine-protests/\n\n==================================================================\n\nBOYCOTT\n\nBoycott TEVA Pharmaceuticals https://boycottteva.org/\n\nBDS Movement: https://bdsmovement.net/Act-Now-Against-These-Companies-Profiting-From-Genocide\n\nBoycat App: https://www.boycat.io/\n\nNo Appetite for Apartheid https://na4a.org/\n\n==================================================================\n\nDIVESTMENT\n\nLearn about municipal strategies from the BNC - “Your city can join the BDS Movement”\nhttps://bdsmovement.net/Your-City-Can-Join-The-BDS-Movement\n\nAre There Human Rights Violations Hidden in Your Investments?\nhttps://investigate.info/\n\nDon't Buy Into Occupation\nhttps://dontbuyintooccupation.org/reports/dont-buy-into-occupation-report-2024/\n\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2026/03/07/18884787.php SUMMARY:Virtual screening of the film "Severed - Because Palestine is a Disability Justice Issue" LOCATION:Zoom\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_roNfrgMiTbK6KX2tpDG-dQ URL:https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2026/03/07/18884787.php DTSTART:20260307T170000Z DTEND:20260307T183000Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
