CODEPINK: Women for Peace

On October 30, 2024 Cuba will submit a resolution to the UN General Assembly to lift the US embargo for the 32nd time. The first time the resolution was submitted it was supported by 59 countries, today the number of states voting for its adoption has grown to 187. For the last several years only two countries have opposed the resolution, the United States and Israel. These same countries are conducting a genocide of the Palestinian population in Gaza. Gaza, which has been under siege much like Cuba since 2007. The situation in Cuba has become increasingly dire since the Trump administration added Cuba to the State Sponsor of Terrorism List (SSOT), a designation that the Biden administration upheld. The SSOT allows the US government to place secondary sanctions on countries that engage in trade with Cuba. So if a ship docks in Cuba, they can't dock in the US harbors for at least 6 months. This has resulted in critical commodities like medical equipment becoming very difficult to come by in Cuba. DC & CHICAGO: join us send a strong message to the Biden/Harris administration that we stand with Cuba and Palestine! DC: codepink.org/cuba1030 CHICAGO: codepink.org/chicagocuba24

This Halloween, #TrickOrTreat4UNRWA! 🍉 🎃 The ongoing genocide in Gaza has been devastating for Palestinian youth. Children have been out of school for over a year. They face food shortages, water shortages, high risk of infection, and constant displacement by Israeli attacks. An entire generation faces long term physical and emotional trauma from these crimes. UNRWA is the largest provider of education, healthcare, emergency assistance, and so much other crucial aid to Palestinian refugees in Gaza and throughout the region. While the U.S. continues to halt funding due to unproven lies made by the Israeli government, UNRWA needs our support now more than ever. Find more information on how you can support and participate in #TrickOrTreat4UNRWA at codepink.org/trickortreat.

Israel is besieging more than 100,000 people in northern Gaza. The IOF has blocked any aid into the north for weeks & forced hospitals to shut. They've massacred more than 1000 people & are starving 100,000. Never forget, this is an American-Israeli genocide.

Last week, Netflix deleted at least 19 films by Palestinian filmmakers or about Palestinian stories from its platform. Storytelling is a crucial aspect of keeping Palestinian history alive — Netflix is literally erasing Palestinians’ stories and perspectives from popular culture. Sign now to demand Netflix reinstate the Palestinian films it deleted: https://lnkd.in/ggpnsCF4
