Rashida Tlaib is a powerhouse. Her grandmother just passed away under occupation (her words) but she’s still organizing for HEAL Palestine— an initiative providing Health, Education, Aid, and Leadership opportunities in a collective effort to help heal Gaza’s youth.
A donation to HEAL Palestine will help shelter, feed, and treat injured and sick Palestinians who have fled military violence, and who are in dire need of basic necessities including food, clean water, and medical supplies because of Israel’s cruel blockade. currently HEAL is working to open a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and a new maternity department in Rafah, plus sponsoring medical teams to go to Gaza.
In addition to funding urgent needs, a donation will support long-term solutions and projects in Palestine as well, such as mental health and mentorship for children who’ve been living with trauma their entire lives, and programs to rebuild Gaza’s education and health systems.
Here’s the link to donate.

"It is glaring hypocrisy when you have Republicans on the other side of the aisle trying to create definitions and saying 'Rashida wants to annihilate people' when Max Miller himself went on TV and said 'we're turning Gaza into a parking lot and we want to annihilate Palestinians.' Nobody condemned him on that side of the aisle. What is true here is that every single one of them [Republicans] has not acknowledged the fact that Palestinians are dying in their tens of thousands but will continue to say it is us who are not acknowledging humanity. Rashida will stand strong and the Palestinian movement will continue for liberation until every single Palestinian has the right to live in liberty."
Somali-American representative, Ilhan Omar's responding to Palestinian-American representative, Rashida Tlaib's censuring in congress. November 9, 2023.

A foreign lobby group wielding this much influence is insane. Coupled with the fact that most journalists, students, academics, activists and artists being expelled, fired, persecuted and disproportionately penalised are BIPOC, it seems like white supremacists are using this opportunity as a concerted effort to push minorities out of every institution of influence. It's nothing less than a bipartisan attack by the white establishment on civil rights.
If y'all do not fight like hell for these people US minorities will be fucked no matter how much you vote.

CLICK HERE: Stop US Politicians Profiting from War
Between 2019 and 2021, 97 members of Congress or their family members invested in weapons contractor stocks, and 25 of them sat on committees directly responsible for shaping national security policy (!!!) while they traded and profited off those stocks. Just last year, U.S. lawmakers made 96 transactions in weapons stock, including 8 since October 7.
Rashida Tlaib recently introduced the Stop Politicians Profiting from War Act (read more here) to prohibit members of Congress, their spouses, and their dependent children from having any financial interests in corporations that do business with the U.S. Department of Defense, including banning members from trading defense stocks.
They only have 3,000 signatures so far, so please click here to sign and share!

I can't imagine the mental strength of Rashida Tlaib who has to sit in congress and listen to elected officials dehumanize Palestinians day in and day out, dehumanize people like her grandmother and other family members in Gaza while cheering on the ethnic cleansing happening in Palestine. I can see the emotions bursting out when she is speaking about what is happening there and my heart goes out to her.
youtube
I don't think I would be able to do it. To sit amongst people who hate and dehumanize my race. I applaud her strength in doing everything she can to fight for her people as the only Palestinian America in Congress.
I am hearing that AIPAC and other lobbies will be strongly trying to primary Rashida Tlaib out of the party. If that happens, I only wish her well in having the mental peace of no longer being in a party that endorses the genocide of her people and I know that she will still be fighting to help her people in other ways instead of trying to appeal to folks with no humanity like Joe Biden.
