I co-organize the GFM campaigns of my dearest friend Rawan and her sister Maram. is making this post on my behalf, as the collaboration feature was recently disabled on my account. I speak everyday with Rawan, frequently with Maram, and can answer any questions you may have about their campaigns. I am tagged in this post.

This is a fragment of the past three months—coinciding with the time period between March 18th, 2025 and the Witcoff Massacre, between two Eids (and shortly after). **The massacre has since turned into a continuum and systemic policy. 
以下、この3ヶ月の断片を記します。2025年3月18日から「ウィトコフ虐殺」(イスラエル・アメリカ主導の支援配給所での虐殺)まで、そしてふたつのイードを挟んだ時期(ならびに少し後)と重なる期間です。**この虐殺は以来、連続的な虐殺へと化し、組織的方針になりました。


-Large family, gathered on the patio of Rawan’s family home (Photo 1). This is when she passed her high school exams six years ago. It is obvious that Maram is filming. Rawan in glasses before lasek, visibly moved. The house was bombed to dust by the military settler colony 600 days ago. Where it once stood is a debris field with a tent, bullet ridden walls and structural remnants. Sunlight pears through the bullet holes.
-ラワンの家族の家の中庭に集まっているのは大家族。(写真1)これは6年前、ラワンが高校の卒業試験を合格した時。映像を撮っているのがマラムなのは一目瞭然です。角膜の屈折矯正をする前だから眼鏡をかけたラワンが、見るからに感無量な様子。この家は600日前、軍事的入植者植民地の爆撃によって破壊されました。家の建物がかつてあったところには、テントが貼られた瓦礫の空き地、銃弾が刻み込まれた壁と、構造物の残骸があります。陽の光が弾痕から漏れています。

Help us make little Noor from Gaza’s 3rd birthday wish come true - we need $3,000 this week to cover medical expenses for her mother!

Noor has had to endure many cruelties in her young life due to the occupation. We are hoping to at least make this wish come true for her mother to get better! Please help us spread the word by liking, writing a birthday message to Noor, and sharing this post widely!

Every little bit helps!!

Happy Birthday Noor!!

We call on and our community to make a change! We refuse to be silent as organizations in our community work so hard to indoctrinate our people as accomplices of state violence!

Thank you for posting our op-ed and creating these graphics!

Repost from 48 Hills:
[SLIDE # 1]

The Cherry Blossom Festival is complicit in police violence and the crisis in Gaza

[SLIDE # 2]

“Last year, a coalition of Japanese American activists and our allies, delayed the 2024 Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival Parade for 14 minutes to call attention to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza,” write Toshio Meronek [] and Uta Tamate [.uta] in a 48hills op-ed.

Parade VIPs included Sheriff Paul Miyamoto. “In the weeks after his VIP reception, dozens of students at Portola Elementary required immediate medical attention after Miyamoto’s department thoughtlessly released large amounts of tear gas during a ‘crowd control’ exercise.”

[SLIDE # 3]

“While festival organizers told local media that we put children at risk by temporarily stopping the parade, they’ve been silent about the harm caused by Miyamoto and his office to more than 30 elementary school children requiring medical attention thanks to his department.”

Support our Solidarity Iftar on March 26th to raise funds for two Gazan families while also building community amongst attendees to deepen our collective resistance here in the imperial core.

We are hosting this despite not being a Muslim-led organization as an act of solidarity and practice of steadfastness amidst escalating violence. Since March 2nd, Israel has stopped all humanitarian aid from entering Gaza. Israel broke the ceasefire on March 18th with brutal airstrikes that killed over 400 people - in what has been called a “Ramadan Massacre”.

As Muslims in Gaza and across Palestine continue to observe Ramadan while being targeted by the zionist state, we ask the community to support our Solidarity Iftar and honor this tradition by deepening our commitment to a free Palestine.

Calling all Bay Area Nikkei to show up to🚨 STOP US WAR THREATS ON KOREA 🚨

Nikkei Resisters is proud to endorse ‘s upcoming rallies on March 1st to protest US war games in Korea. Join a rally near you in New York, Los Angeles, or San Francisco!

A massive series of US war games known as Freedom Shield is about to take place in Korea at one of the worst possible times: South Korea is mired in political crisis due to President Yoon Suk Yeol’s ongoing impeachment, and US tensions with North Korea are at their worst point in decades.

While Trump claims to desire dialogue and diplomacy with North Korea, Freedom Shield shows that this is a lie. US war exercises are a constant source of tension with North Korea. In 2024, the US military spent 275 days conducting war games in Korea, rehearsing things like invading North Korea, carpet bombing Korean cities, and even using nuclear weapons against the Korean people.

For decades, the US government has kept its people in the dark about its true role in Korea. By dividing the Korean peninsula against the will of the Korean people, the US set the stage for the devastating Korean War—the longest war in US history. It’s long past time to end the Korean War and the US occupation of Korea, and that has to start with de-escalation.

This March 1st also marks 106 years since the March 1st Movement, which ignited Korea’s fight for independence from Japanese occupation. On that historic day in 1919, the people of Korea declared their sovereignty, launching thousands of protests against colonial rule. In response, over 7,500 Koreans were brutally massacred, and nearly 50,000 were arrested and tortured.

Join us on March 1 as the fight for true Korean sovereignty continues. Cancel Freedom Shield! US out of Korea
