■We believe that injustice must be challenged and that human rights and resistance to oppression “must be included in the way we define ourselves as a community.”
■We believe that education for justice and peace is a basic skill that must be universally nurtured.
■While supporting the advancement of human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice for all, we will emphasize efforts to alleviate the burden on women and children, who too often suffer the most.
■We are committed to the principles and practice of non-violence and to their advancement as means of effecting change.
■We view art, the written word, and other forms of creative expression as valuable tools for building understanding, respect and appreciation for differences and cooperation between peoples. We value and seek creative, and even unconventional, approaches to problems.
■We agree with Rachel that it is important to make commitments to people and places. We will continue the commitment to Rafah that she initiated and intended to maintain.

Palestine 1492: A Report Back Book Talk

Dr. Linda Quiquivix shares that Palestine 1492 is a report back of what she sees in 500 years of struggle for life in words, maps, and images.

"Throughout, I share conclusions Palestinians, Zapatistas, Panthers, and jaguars have taught me along this journey: that this world itself is unethical, and that changing it is difficult, even impossible. If after reading you also believe this to be true, may we dismantle this world together and help build a new one from below and in common, together and side by side."

Dr. Linda Quiquivix is a geographer and popular educator of Maya roots, and author and illustrator of Palestine 1492: A Report Back (Wild Ox Books, 2024) and host of WW4: A Podcast Syllabus. Learn more about her work at www.quiqui.org

Two years ago today, an Israeli sniper shot and killed Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi as she stood in nonviolent protest to protect Palestinian land in the West Bank village of Beita.

The same violence that took Ayşenur’s life took Rachel's life and the lives of countless Palestinians. We honor all of our martyrs today, and we continue to stand with Ayşenur’s family in demanding justice and an independent investigation into her murder.

Ayşenur’s spirit lives on in the people who loved her. This year, we joined her family, friends, and community in Seattle to celebrate her birthday and paint her portrait together.

Join us on Saturday, October 3rd at the Olympia Rafah Solidarity Mural as we unveil a new mural leaf honoring Ayşenur.

We hope you will mark today by attending a local vigil or event in Ayşenur’s honor. Learn more about her life and legacy at forAysenur.com.

On Sept. 6, it will have been 2 years since Israel murdered Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi. We continue to demand a full, independent investigation into her death; criminal accountability for those responsible; congressional hearings on the killing; and formal diplomatic consequences. Visit https://www.foraysenur.com/ for more information and updates.

This week in Palestine: Netanyahu announces that the military is not withdrawing from Gaza; Two Palestinian teens were killed in the occupied West Bank while settler violence continues to escalate including attacks on U.S journalists. Also, in the occupied West Bank, the entire village of Al-Taban in Masafer Yatta was erased by the Israeli military.

We must do all we can to prevent the ethnic cleansing and the colonization of Palestine.
