URGENT: Within hours, Congress will vote on legislation that criminalizes student protest under the guise of fighting antisemitism. Write your rep now and tell them to vote NO on this authoritarian campus crackdown.

“If you want to know what an unfolding genocide looks like, open your eyes. It looks like the forced famine of 1.1 million innocents. It looks like thousands of children eating grass as their bodies consume themselves, while trucks of food are slowed and halted just miles away.” -Rep. Ocasio-Cortez

Perry Bacon in the Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/03/26/squad-gaza-ceasefire-aipac-primary-races):

“Some of the best members of Congress could be ousted this year. They are facing huge spending campaigns against them, as punishment for taking positions not shared by the wealthy and powerful, most notably their strong opposition to Israel’s military actions in Gaza.

"I hope these members survive. They are the kind of politicians America really needs.”

Us too. And we're not just hoping. We're fighting back. 🧵

Today we mark 76 years since the #Nakba, or catastrophe, when over 750,000 Palestinians were ethnically cleansed from their homes and countless villages were wiped off the map during the establishment of the State of Israel. The Israeli government has continued the Nakba by carrying out a policy of land expropriation and deprivation of Palestinians’ fundamental rights from 1948 through today. (1/4)

IfNotNow on X:

The House just voted 286-134 to pass a spending package that bans funding to UNRWA, the primary organization providing humanitarian aid to Gazans on the brink of famine.

The bill also gives $3.8 billion in funding to Israel.

Our elected leaders are funding Palestinian death.

The Harvard faculty steadfastly stood up for freedom of expression.

IfNotNow condemns the police and vigilante attacks on student encampments at Columbia, CCNY, & UCLA.

From college presidents to Congress to the White House, our leaders must stop targeting students and heed their call to end institutional support for Israel’s assault on Palestinians.

AIPAC’s Super PAC has pledged to spend $100 million in Democratic primaries targeting progressive incumbents who speak out for Palestinian rights — using money from Republican megadonors.

Inconceivable?

Wallace Shawn explains why it's beyond time to #RejectAIPAC:

As American Jews, we know #AIPAC does not represent us. We keep trying to tell this to Rep. Katherine Clark (MA-05) but she won’t listen.

If she would, she'd realize that the McCarthyite “Antisemitism Awareness Act” she voted for yesterday does nothing to keep us safe. In fact, it does the opposite.

Last week, IfNotNow kicked off our campaign to #RejectAIPAC. Now it's time to take it local.

Recently, we tried a bit of an experiment, guided by a core INN principle: we show up for ourselves & each other. A series of #CommunityNights, where we'd bring people together to share food, learn, & support each other to stay in the movement & bring our people with us.
