EXTREMELY URGENT: All out for Rafah!

This is the start of a genocidal bloodbath in Gaza. After rejecting a ceasefire proposal accepted by Hamas yesterday, the Israeli military forced Palestinian families to flee their tents in eastern Rafah, dropped bomb after bomb in western Rafah, and stormed the Rafah crossing, cutting off any access to humanitarian aid entirely.

Our Palestinian people in Gaza who are living through this genocide have a clear ask of us. They see that the student intifada protests are building real pressure not only for university divestment but also on the U.S. government.

So they’re calling out: Escalate your actions for Gaza NOW.

Take the first step by making a call. Stop what you’re doing, pick up your phone, and demand that your members of Congress speak up now and take real action to stop the Rafah invasion.

Even Genocide Joe said that an invasion of Rafah is a “red line”--but red lines are only real if there are consequences for crossing them. The Biden administration and Congress must immediately cut off all U.S. weapons transfers to Israel, and then stop arming Israel once and for all.

As potential International Criminal Court arrest warrants loom, Israel is desperately lashing out and trying to kill as many Palestinian people as possible before it is held accountable.

The result is grave: If we don’t stop it, this invasion could be absolutely catastrophic on a scale even beyond the current genocide and 1948 Nakba.

Call your members of Congress to sound the alarm now and voice your rage. Then hit the streets, organize, and escalate. Find an emergency action near you.

Please do everything in your power now to escalate for Rafah, for the sake of each of the 1.5 million Palestinian people there who are enduring this terrifying assault. Thank you for rising up to fight with me.

Onward to liberation.
