Two adjacent status updates from the president of Boston's Combined Jewish Philanthropies.
On the one hand, commitment to vision and values is more important that how much money we raise. On the other hand, we're going to continue to pretend everything's normal in #Israel and say nothing about the #genocide because doing otherwise would piss off rich donors.
Fuck the #CJP and the other Jewish organizations who have failed the key ethical challenge of our lifetimes.

Chicago marches to stop the Trump agenda!

Chicago, IL – On a stormy Fourth of July, 1000 Chicagoans marched to oppose Trump’s racist and reactionary agenda. The people marched to oppose Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” that he signed into law Friday.

The new law slashes safety net programs that feed and educate children and provided healthcare for the poor and disabled. It also adds an estimated $3.3 trillion in debt and gives billionaires tax cuts. More tax dollars will now go for deportations, police repression, Israel’s genocide in Gaza and war against Iran.

This weekly demonstration was organized by the Chicago Coalition for Justice in Palestine (CJP). CJP has organized mass demonstrations almost every week for nearly two years since the current Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza began in October 2023.
