I want to thank this young man for his courage. Martin Luther King, Jr. once preached on "Beyond Vietnam: Breaking the Silence." It was one of his most important contributions to this country and our moral character. Azeez Al-Shaair reminds us what courage looks like.

My reflection on Friday's nonviolent action and arrest. And why it's past time for people of faith to stand up and be counted. valleyriseup.blogspot.com/20…

Student protesters at a number of U.S. colleges have managed to negotiate agreements where administrators have acceded to some of their demands. Hear from four organizers who have had success in pushing their schools on Palestine. democracynow.org/2024/5/8/st…

In the first such divestment action by a major Christian denomination, the General Conference of The United Methodist Church has voted to divest from Israel bonds, and those of other countries carrying out prolonged military occupations. bit.ly/3JPeCP6

With four other citizens and friends--including a town councilor, a goat farmer and an 80-year-old retired federal mediator--I was arrested today at Congressman Chris Pappas’ Dover office—sitting in and insisting he reject AIPAC’s contributions and call for a permanent ceasefire.

We insisti he uphold US and international law by stopping the flow of weaponry to Israel. Upwards of 34,000 have already been killed. Thousands more are at risk of starvation in Gaza. We are committed to HUMAN RIGHTS and coexistence in the Holy Land. #humanrights

They also call for an end to aid to Israel until human rights are upheld & humanitarian abuses ended. They call for Representative Pappas to withdraw support for HR6090 (which has been denounced by human rights and civil liberties groups.) They call for him to reject AIPAC money

Update: five community members have been arrested, processed, and released. They have a court date in June for trespassing. Representative Pappas didn’t respond to our plea for action, but we will continue to push for a ceasefire, for an end to US aid to Israel.
Replying to @350nhaction
Violence leads to violence, and US tax dollars are paying for weapons for Israel. It’s time to stop this vicious cycle of violence. Ceasefire now. End US aid to Israel. Reject AIPAC money.
