There must be a ceasefire in Gaza — NOW!
We are care activists. As care activists, we are involved with social justice movements in this country and globally. It almost defies language what Israeli forces have perpetrated upon the Palestinian people since Oct.
7, 2023; in their disproportionate and vengeful retaliation against millions of Gazan civilians in response to the Hamas attack on thousands of Israeli citizens.
We call out the loss of innocent Israeli lives in the same breath that we call for the survival of the Palestinian people. Months into this genocide, carnage and atrocity, we join with millions across the planet who bear witness to and protest the devastation of human and environmental life.
There must be a permanent ceasefire, NOW. What we bear witness to in Palestine and Israel has a deeply rooted history. For almost a century, the Naqba and the Israeli occupation in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem has wrought devastating consequences, including murder, imprisonment, suspension of basic civil rights, exile, land theft, restrictions on movement and access to water, electricity, and healthcare.
