One simple way we can show solidarity with immigrants is to promote messages of love, dignity, and welcome for all. To help do that, we have new posters ready to use. Take them to protests, vigils, and other events and display them at home, school, workplace, congregation, and other spaces. Download the posters.
GAZA: Help Palestinians return home to Rafah
(Kerri Kennedy, everyaction.com) Just days after the ceasefire deal, many displaced Palestinians began returning to their homes. Last week, our team in Gaza entered the city of Rafah, determined to help people make the difficult trek.
To assist, AFSC (American Friends Service Committee) provided support to a private company in removing rubble. Now, some streets that were blocked have been reopened. Watch the video.
TAKE ACTION by telling Congress: Protect our planet, not corporate profits!
Pres. Trump has issued executive orders that reverse progress to address climate change. Now Congress is considering more policies that will enrich fossil fuel companies at the expense of our air, land, and water. Instead of sacrificing our environment for the benefit of corporations, the U.S. must invest in clean energy and move away from fossil fuels. Join AFSC in calling on Congress to prioritize the health of our people and the planet.
AFSC STATEMENT: We must oppose Trump's efforts to silence and criminalize activists. Earlier this week, the Trump administration issued an executive order attempting to criminalize and silence people protesting Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the West Bank, and Palestine.
The order calls for the deportation of American students involved in protests and instructs the U.S. Justice Department to aggressively prosecute pro-Palestinian sympathizers and activists.
As a Quaker organization that has worked for decades to support peace and justice in Palestine and around the world, we strongly oppose this order. Read the statement.
FROM THE ARCHIVES: Exposing war profiteers. In this video, AFSC Archivist Don Davis talks about an insidious U.S. weapon used during the U.S. War on Vietnam.
“Bomblets” were filled with steel balls surrounding explosives that were then dropped over vast areas of the Buddhist country of Vietnam, causing extensive civilian deaths. In Vietnam, AFSC staff treated bomblet victims in Quang Ngai. In the U.S., the NARMIC program worked to expose the companies that produce these weapons of war. Watch the video.
