In the tradition of the generations before them, young people are rising to meet the moment and confront oppression on all fronts. Political homes, where they can learn, grow, build community, and organize with their peers, are more important now than they have ever been.

We call upon all our communities and co-strugglers to take immediate action: to get informed, to spread awareness, to speak out and up, to organize, mobilize, and to commit to standing on the right side of history. 🧵

Stop calling it a war. Gaza is not a state. Gaza is colonised territory, under siege by a nuclear power. Hamas is not an army. Hamas is a resistance movement. Colonised people have the right to armed resistance under international law. Call it what it is: Israel waging genocide.

This is not a war “between Hamas and Israel” this is a World War waged on the Palestinian People by superpowers and media machines and giant corporations and reactionaries.
