Queers for Palestine: Power Hour

November 10, 2023 • By 18MR Staff

🍉🇵🇸QUEERS FOR PALESTINE! 🇵🇸🍉

Nearly two months have passed since Israel escalated attacks on Gaza, killing more than 14,500 and displacing 1.7+ million. 💔 This is genocide. And we know a temporary “pause” is not enough to stop it. 🚫🚫🚫

Join @queercrescent, @lavphoenix, @18millionrising, @rising_majority, @mvmnt4blklives, and @nqapia on Tues., Dec. 5th at 12 PM PST | 3 PM EST to call local and LGBTQ+ electeds to demand a permanent ceasefire, the end of US military aid to Israel, and humanitarian aid!

We’ll be joined by the brilliant adrienne maree brown and Morgan Bassichis, who will help ground us in our roles as queer people in the fight for Palestinian liberation. 💖

We REFUSE the false promises of pinkwashing. We REJECT Pride flags raised by IDF soldiers over shattered Palestinian homes. We AFFIRM Palestinian life, dignity, and self-determination. We STAND WITH trans and queer Palestinians like @queersinpalestine who demand an end to Israeli occupation, an end to US-backed bombings, and the freedom to live safely.
As queer people living in the heart of the US war machine, we have a DUTY to cut off the violence at its source.

    Freedom to Stay Move Resist

    The reality is stark: since Trump’s return to office, the federal administration has accelerated an era of fascist violence against immigrant, refugee, and working class communities. We are facing daily attacks on our people, from increased ICE raids to expanded travel bans to the rapid militarization and surveillance of our communities, homes, and workplaces. This […]

    DYEY? with comrade tripp

In this day and age, being a comedian means taking on several adjacent titles. From comedian, to writer, to commentator, all under the […]

    This World Cup, kick ICE to the curb

    By Annie Yang Soccer is the sport of the masses. In every corner of the globe, soccer is played on dirt roads, patchy fields, highway underpasses—anywhere space allows and people gather. A simple game, its accessibility welcomes players from all classes, races, genders, ages, and nationalities. Anyone can play soccer, anyone can understand its rules […]
