It is welcome that @superdrug has pulled Ahava products from its website after @afsc_org found evidence they contained ingredients from an illegal Israeli settlement built on stolen Palestinian land in the West Bank. (1/6)

The Trump administration's proposals would gut vital programs for millions of people. It would also pour an unprecedented $1.5 trillion into the military. Tell Congress to reject funding for war and invest in the communities they were elected to serve! bit.ly/43e5uNN

Despite a ceasefire, Israel—with support from the U.S.—continues to bomb Gaza and severely restrict food, water, and medicine from entering. We must act now. Urge your representative to stop sending weapons and other military assistance to Israel! bit.ly/4fLV4MD

The labor and hunger strike at Delaney Hall spotlight the inhuman conditions at the GEO Group run ICE prison.
AFSC's Jenny Garcia says that sometimes GEO Group will “pay” a worker with a soda. Nor are provided the proper tools to work, having to buy supplies from the commissary.
Protesters began to gather outside Delaney Hall last weekend, after 300 prisoners published an open letter, saying they are “tortured physically and psychologically” by the camp’s living conditions.
