At a women’s conference in #Virginia, chaos erupted when Senator Mark Warner was challenged by a woman advocating for Palestinian rights. Instead of support, she faced booing and silencing from other attendees. The message: The time for this conversation is now, and we won't be quiet until Palestine is free. #markwarner #women #womensrights #feminism #freepalestine

‘Tis the season to call out hypocrisy. This happened at a women’s conference. When Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, the featured speaker, was called out, chaos erupted. A woman speaking up for Palestinian women booed and silenced, by other women, at a women's conference. The audience had zero self-awareness.

"Not today." "Sit down." "Be quiet." “Leave.”

Not today? Then when? More than two years have passed. For some, there’s always an excuse: never the right time, never the right place. And one day they'll say, “We didn’t know.” But you did know. You knew about the suffering of Palestinian women and children and men. You knew our tax dollars contributed to upholding Israel's apartheid and occupation and genocide. You knew how the Israeli military used rape as a weapon of war. You just chose not to care.

Well, guess what. We won’t be quiet. And we certainly won’t sit down. And we’re not leaving. Because until Palestine is free, Palestine is all you'll see.

Hampton Roads, VA, may soon see ICE operations as recent raids in NC target metro areas, suggests immigration attorney Hector Quiroga. He warns that local police can't ask immigration status, only general ID. These tactics serve only to intimidate citizens and fuel fear without any safety benefits.

Please join the NNEA in #Red4Ed in support of contract negotiations / collective bargaining rights for NNPS teachers and staff AND for city employees at the upcoming Newport News School Board meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 18, and at the next Newport News City Council meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 9.

Next NN School Board meeting: Tuesday, Nov. 18, at 6:30 pm at the NNPS Administration Building at 12465 Warwick Blvd., 23606

Next NN City Council meeting: Tuesday, Dec. 9, at 7 pm at Midtown Community Center at 570 McLawhorne Drive, 23601 (note the updated location)

We need to keep up steady #Red4Ed pressure at each meeting until the School Board and City Council vote in favor of collective bargaining / contract negotiations. Citizens can sign up to speak for up to 3 minutes during the public comments portion of the meeting.

**Please note that we are taking a break from holding NNEA signs prior to the School Board meeting until a vote on collective bargaining is scheduled. Until then, we will be attending both School Board and City Council meetings in #Red4Ed to advocate for collective bargaining.**

If you can’t join the meeting but want to show support for collective bargaining, please email the School Board and City Council to let them know that you support contract negotiations / collective bargaining rights for NNPS employees and for city workers.
