Breaking up with Big Tech 💔

Five companies - Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon & Apple act as digital landlords who determine the shape & form of our online interaction & their largely unchecked power poses serious risks to our right to privacy, non-discrimination, freedom of opinion & access to information.

Addressing their dominance is critical, not only as a matter of market fairness, but as a pressing human rights issue.

Over one year since the ceasefire agreement, more than 1,400 people have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza, nearly two million still need shelter, not a single hospital is fully functioning, and 1.4 million face crisis-level hunger.

Accountability cannot be swept under the rubble. The recovery and future of Gaza cannot be separated from a framework grounded in international law, justice, and the rights of victims.

The persistent failure to hold Israel accountable and press Israel to comply with the International Court of Justice’s binding orders continues to fuel the atrocity crimes on a mass scale against Palestinians.

States must live up to their legal obligations by taking concrete action to hold Israel accountable for its incessant crimes against Palestinians, including state-driven settler violence. They must halt all trade, investment and cooperation that contribute to maintaining Israel’s unlawful occupation, apartheid and ethnic cleansing campaign. Hiding behind empty rhetoric is not just cowardly; for Palestinians, it continues to be deadly.

Israel’s apartheid system is turning the olive harvest into a season of horror for families in the occupied West Bank. This is state-sponsored brutality. It is ethnic cleansing.

Democratic congressional candidate Brad Lander along with about 80 American and Israeli rabbis and activists were helping Palestinian olive harvesters when they were detained by Israeli forces.

The US administration's attack on the International Criminal Court is an attack on us all. These sanctions affect our right to seek justice for the gravest crimes. We must defend it.

The human rights movement doesn’t pick and choose who has rights. We won’t refrain from calling for justice, whether the suspected perpetrator sits in Tehran, Washington D.C., or anywhere else. Secretary Rubio knows that. So when he calls a human rights organization a fraud for doing its job, that’s just his playbook for avoiding accountability.
