GET involved - say no to genocide!
In the past week, Israel has dropped more bombs on Gaza than the U.S. did in a year of war on Afghanistan. What we know from past Israeli state atrocities against Palestinians is that the bombs only stop once there is a sufficient mass outcry from the international community. It’s on us to build that outcry — as fast as we possibly can.
Call Senator Warren (202) 224-4543
If Not Now members also assembled outside Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-Mass.) in Boston, holding signs that read, "Not In Our Name" and "Jews Against Genocide." Tell Senator Warren you support an end to apartheid and no genocide. NEVER AGAIN!
Call Senator Markey (202-224-2742)
A crowd at a pro-Israel rally booed Sen. Ed Markey on Monday after suggesting violence should be de-escalated in Gaza. Let him know you support de-escalation, and no genocide. NEVER AGAIN!
END THE deadly exchange - when we fight we win!
In June 2020, during the massive Black-led uprisings following the murder of George Floyd by US police, the ADL wrote an internal memo finally admitting the contradiction between its long support of law enforcement and its public claim to work for civil rights. The ADL admitted what they’ve known all along: their trips help militarize the police.
As a result of decades of Black and Palestinian movement building, and sustained local coalition campaigning, the ADL was forced to contend with the massive controversy around this program.
Ending this program is a step toward addressing the militarization of our communities, defunding and abolishing policing, and challenging the US-Israel alliance that maintains Israeli apartheid.

Many Palestinians, solidarity activists, and academics have recognized the "apartheid" character of Israel for many years. Recently, however, there has been a notable shift in mainstream organizations and figures willing to use this language.
