Over 150 days into the genocide in Gaza, we are overwhelmed with sorrow and rage.

There are no words to describe the devastating pain of the last five months, in which the Israeli military has killed over 31,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including more than 13,000 children. The highest court in the world has named Israel’s actions as plausibly a genocide. And the U.S. government is actively supporting the Israeli military as it wreaks devastation on the over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza.

It’s at this moment that we have come together as a political community in our daily half-hour to take action, Monday through Friday, for the past four months.

Join us as we take collective action to demand an immediate and lasting ceasefire and an end to Israeli siege, apartheid, occupation, and oppression of Palestinians.

All are welcome. All are needed.
