PALESTINE UPDATES 🇵🇸

Columbia University under federal investigation

The Office for Civil Rights announced that Columbia University is under federal investigation for anti-Palestinian racism. Including by inviting NYPD officers in riot gear to arrest Palestinian and associated students protesting Israel's genocide in Palestine.

Less than 48 hours after Shafik, President of Columbia. Called in the NYPD, which violently arrested and brutalised dozens of the students protesting.

While the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) looks into all complaints it receives. It only opens a formal investigation when it determines the facts warrant a deeper look.

Dance as a form of resistance shared by indigenous peoples. I love this mashup ✊🏽

I love this young man, I love his defiant war dance, I love his fearlessness, dancing in his protective kuffiya and Palestine around his waist, with his slingshot against occupation military fire and snipers.

Palestinians knows love and stand courageously for the love of life. Nothing could break it or their power to stand tall in the face of injustice.

This is from the peaceful Great March of Return 2018 by civil society. When Israel occupation forces surrounded peaceful protesters in Gaza, opened fire and massacred at least 150 Palestinians.

Red Dress Day: Honouring Memories and Raising Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People

May 6, 2024

Shaina Tranquilino

In Canada, Red Dress Day serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing crisis surrounding missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people (MMIWG2S). This solemn occasion, marked by the hanging of red dresses in public spaces, symbolizes the lives lost and the urgent need for justice and systemic change. As we commemorate Red Dress Day, it's crucial to reflect on the profound impact of this crisis and renew our commitment to advocating for the rights and safety of Indigenous communities across the country.

The Significance of the Red Dress:

The red dress has become a powerful symbol in the movement to raise awareness about MMIWG2S. It represents the women, girls, and two-spirit individuals who have gone missing or been murdered, their spirits, and the bloodshed that continues to stain the fabric of Indigenous communities. Each red dress hung serves as a silent tribute, a visual reminder of lives cut short and families torn apart by violence and injustice.

Honouring the Memories:

Red Dress Day is a time for reflection and remembrance. It's an opportunity for communities to come together to honour the memories of those who are no longer with us. Through ceremonies, gatherings, and art installations, Indigenous and non-Indigenous people alike pay tribute to the lives lost and reaffirm their commitment to seeking justice and accountability. It's a solemn occasion but also a chance to celebrate the resilience and strength of Indigenous communities in the face of adversity.

Raising Awareness and Demanding Action:

Beyond remembrance, Red Dress Day serves as a call to action. It's a reminder that the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people is not a thing of the past but a present-day reality. Indigenous women are disproportionately affected by violence and are more likely to experience homicide or disappearance compared to non-Indigenous women. This alarming statistic underscores the urgent need for systemic change to address the root causes of this crisis, including colonialism, systemic racism, poverty, and inadequate access to resources and support services.

Advocates and activists use Red Dress Day as an opportunity to raise awareness about MMIWG2S and to demand action from governments, law enforcement agencies, and society at large. They call for improved support services for victims and their families, culturally sensitive policing practices, and meaningful efforts to address the underlying factors that contribute to violence against Indigenous women and girls. By amplifying their voices and advocating for change, they strive to ensure that the lives lost are not forgotten and that future generations can live free from fear and harm.

Red Dress Day is a solemn yet empowering occasion that reminds us of the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people in Canada. As we honour the memories of those who are no longer with us, we must also recommit ourselves to the fight for justice, equality, and respect for Indigenous rights. By standing in solidarity with Indigenous communities and demanding action from our leaders, we can work towards a future where every woman, girl, and two-spirit person is safe, valued, and able to live their lives free from violence and discrimination.

Shout out to my SWANA mutuals and bloggers fr. Y'all keep me on my toes, keep me educated and push me to educate myself, and keep me accountable for remembering that there is a world larger than me that I need to hold in my heart and fight for just as much as I do my own community. I'm proud and in awe of y'all, and I pray for the day you don't have to always be so resilient. 🙏🏾❤️🫱🏾‍🫲🏽

External activism is incredibly important but so is internal activism. How can we change the world around us if we can't treat ourselves with compassion? With the constant struggle of this work, there are part of you that deserve just as much attention and care.

The genocide in Gaza has not stopped, therefore we won’t stop either, not until Gaza is saved and Palestine is freed.

Don’t stop checking in on the reports about Gaza. Don’t stop talking and posting about it. Keep reblogging, retweeting, amplifying voices, calling and email senators/reps/etc.

Fascism is in the rise in the USA. We need to organize and build antifascist resistance and build socialism to counteract the prevalence of nazism within the USA. I have seen christian nazi flags displayed here in Virginia; it makes me sick and afraid to live in my home state and my home country. I do not feel like @joebiden “has our backs”. We defend ourselves and our community must be protected from christian oppression.

Palestine Ukraine has all the right to fight back against Russia, but when Palestine tries to fight back against Israel it becomes terrorism. Stand with Palestine. سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَاللهُ أَكْبَر..اللَّهُمَّ انْصُرْ أَهْلَنَا فِي فِلَسْطِين وَافْتَحْ لَهُم فَتْحًا يَسِيرًا مُبِينًا اللهم انصر فلسطين 🤲.

[Image ID: A two-panel comic, traditionally drawn in pen and watercolor, of Suki and Ty Lee from Avatar: The Last Airbender as young adults in a modern office setting. In the first panel, Suki and Ty Lee are standing at a desk, on which is a vase of flowers. Suki takes a card off of the vase and says, “Every Monday when I show up to work, a bouquet of flowers is waiting on my desk with a note from a ‘secret admirer.’ It’s been going on for three years.” Ty Lee says “Wooooooooooow! That’s a lot of secret admirers! But what does Sokka think???” In the second panel, Suki smiles widely at the card and says “He thinks I still don’t recognize his handwriting.” /.End ID]
