‼️ ALL EYES ON NORTH GAZA ‼️ “Israel began a surprise ground invasion of north Gaza 6 days ago, trapping 400,000+ people under siege as Israel tightens aid blockade. IOF then ordered evacuations of Jabalia, Beit Lahiya & Beit Hanoun despite continued airstrikes leaving nowhere safe IOF tanks & troops have invaded Jabalia completely encircling it & cutting off its residents by blocking roads & setting up only 1 exit w/ a checkpoint, and troops opening fire at people fleeing. IOF airstrikes hit residential areas, filling the streets with bodies & rubble. Only 2/8 water wells remain operational 125+ Palestinians killed in 5 days, yesterday 47 Palestinians killed in Jabalia alone. Yesterday IOF bombed tents in the courtyard of Yemen Al-Saeed Hospital, massacring 16+ people as a fire broke out 🏥 Kamal Adwan Hospital, one of last functioning in the area, has been forced to evacuate from IOF threats of destruction.

In response to LinkedIn updating their User Agreement, I'm inviting all of my connections and followers who have learned from my content, who want to continue hearing from me, to subscribe to our mailing list: bit.ly/PauseAndConnect. I read through LinkedIn's revised user agreement. One of the terms is "We have the right to limit how you connect and interact on our services". This includes the right to restrict, suspend and terminate an account based on violation of the Professional Community Policies. While this is likely already in place, reading it just made it that much more real. As you can imagine - these policies are vague and subjective, leaving what constitutes as "promoting violence", "fake news" and "being professional" up to LinkedIn's interpretation. Y'all know that mayed (مائد) and I are bold on this platform. We say what needs to be said, and try our best to live in integrity with our values. That means, we're at increased risk of cen-sore-ship. Right now, we are at the mercy of the algorithm, which means that you'll only see what they show you. We promise not to spam your inbox - but we want to have a trusted way of staying in touch. We've worked too hard - poured our hearts and knowledge onto this platform - for it to be snatched away by the algo and ambiguous policies. Here are a few ways to stay part of our community and get access to our unfiltered content. 1. Join our mailing list. This is free, and like I said, we won't spam you. Those who are already subscribed know that we don't write often - but we may begin to change that a little. We need more protection around our data and perspectives. bit.ly/PauseAndConnect 2. Join the Liberation Maasi's community. This is a community of practice that meets at least monthly to cultivate ways of being that will contribute towards shaping a more liberatory future. Both mayed and I write thought pieces here that we don't publish elsewhere. Usually the stuff that would be censored, or that LinkedIn just doesn't deserve. bit.ly/LiberationMaasis If you can, please help boost this post so that it gets more visibility.

Listen in to this powerful song during the Somatic Release for Liberation session, 12PM-1PM EST (Saturday & Sunday), a space for the praxis of liberation through movement, music, and community. Experience the invitation for fully free expression - here all feelings are welcome: anger, rage, deep sadness, frustration, joy, disappointment, grief, loss, isolation, disconnect, love, hope, fear, YOU are welcome unapologetically as you are. This is an accessible space, for all levels of movement ability, without directed instruction on how to move. As we continue to wake up to the systems of oppression at play in our societies, globally, in our lives, within our family dynamics, and our workplaces, finding ways to process physically can help us to compost what we can no longer condone and liberate us for true justice, connection, community, and care. We're here for community care and solidarity with collective liberation from Palestine to Lebanon to Congo to Sudan to Haiti and everywhere colonial imperialist extraction perpetuates global suffering. Experience a 45 minute flow of curated music from around the world and across many genres to help you tap into radical free expression of feelings that might otherwise feel stuck of frozen inside: scream, cry, dance, lay on the ground, curl into a ball, shake, trust your body to tell you what it needs moment by moment, song by song. **Please join on time as we get into the 45 minute music flow in the first few minutes! Followed by 10-15 minutes group reflections and introductions on what came up for each of us.** Community Care, Contribution, & Solidarity $5-$10 suggested contribution to Here4TheKids, whose radically authentic community of support grounded in abolition, liberation, & solidarity resources me with hope and care to give this offering to you, and a $5-$10 suggested contribution to UNRWA humanitarian aid for refugees across Gaza, Lebanon, & Egypt (total suggested donation of $10-$20 per session). When we all contribute to sustaining community, the burden isn't too much for any one of us. Please don't let financial struggle keep you from attending this session, we'd rather have you here moving with us, especially if you are financially marginalized. Who's Organizing Somatic Release for Liberation? This space is held by me, Jacqueline Horani, Legally Unconventional, DJ Liberation: lawyer, dancer, writer, creative and advocate dedicated to rooting out oppression and exploitation and unlearning white supremacy culture. You are welcome to invite others to join this session, have them DM me with email address so I can send the calendar invite & Zoom link.

Funding opportunity for up to $1,000 for direct actions re Palestine or climate crisis! “The purpose of the Get Up, Rise Up direct action fund is to support activists globally to shift power through strategic nonviolent direct actions to create a more socially and ecologically just, healthy, and equitable world for all. This fall we will be awarding small grants to creative, beautiful actions calling for ceasefire, and those targeting the fossil fuel industry and its infrastructure.”
