Labor is Our Shield: Shut It Down for Palestine.

Crew member on the Handala and leading trade unionist, Chris Smalls and Italian dockworker Romeo Pelliccaria speak for the global working class:

"The interception confirms the complicity of the billionaire class and governments in genocide. As unionists, we believe: an injury to one is an injury to all. Our strongest weapon is to withhold our labor. Workers in Europe have shown the way by shutting down ports. Now, we demand real solidarity: a General Strike in America. Trade unions must be reminded they are the shield of the working class, and that includes the liberation of Palestine."

It is time to hold these entities accountable. Shut it down.

#HealthWorkers Plan #GlobalDayOfAction to Demand 'End to the #Genocide in #Gaza' - Monday, January 6th, 2025

"After witnessing 15 months of relentless violence and destruction in Gaza, we can no longer carry on as if everything is normal," said organizer #DoctorsAgainstGenocide.

"As Israel's 15-month annihilation of Gaza continues with intensified attacks on medical infrastructure and workers, an international coalition of advocacy groups is planning a #SickFromGenocide global day of action on Monday 'to take a stand against the targeted attacks on healthcare.'

"Organizer Doctors Against Genocide (#DAG) and co-sponsors including #HealthcareWorkersForPalestine, #PalestinianYouthMovement, #DoNoHarmCoalition, #LaborForPalestine, #JewishVoiceForPeace Health Advisory Council, and others are calling on healthcare workers around the world to take a day of mental health leave 'to reflect on the immense moral injury of funding a genocide and engage the most important aspect of treatment: publicly demanding an end to the genocide in Gaza.'

"Monday's day of action is set to include a '#SickFromGenocide' global vigil and pop-up clinics in cities across the United States, whose government gives Israel billions of dollars in weapons support each year.

"'For 15 months, we have watched in horror as children and families have been obliterated by unrelenting attacks,' DAG said in a statement Friday. 'Hospitals, the bedrock of lifesaving care, have been turned into death traps. The recent bombing and burning of #KamalAdwanHospital and the arrest of our colleague, the pediatrician Dr. #HussamAbuSafiya,exemplify the deliberate targeting of healthcare workers and facilities—tactics designed to accelerate the annihilation and forced displacement of the Palestinian people in Gaza.'"

The state of California is withholding $25m from the #UC system until the chancellors deliver a report about how they will be banning encampment protests for Gaza in the fall, using the doublethink framing of "consistent enforcement of the rules." The same consistency that criminalized demonstrations for Palestine while allowing the attackers in one of the most violent incidents on a university campus in decades to walk away.

You know something is effective when the whole state apparatus mobilizes to stop it
