Stand With The Oppressed
Join Us In Protest!
Why We Gather
Around the world and here at home, people are suffering because the powerful choose cruelty over compassion. On August 16th, we come together to stand with the victims of three interconnected systems of abuse and oppression — and to demand justice.
🇵🇸 Gaza & the West Bank
Palestinians are being starved to death by Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right cabinet in Israel. This man-made famine is a war crime. In the West Bank, daily life under an apartheid system means constant abuse, harassment, and violence. The United States enables these crimes of genocide with billions in military aid and political cover. We say: Stop funding genocide. End the occupation.
🧊 ICE & the Attack on Immigrants
I.C.E. is ripping families apart, targeting people for arrest and deportation based on ethnicity, race, and the language they speak. Even U.S. citizens have been wrongfully detained and deported. They are defying the Constitution, ignoring court orders, and terrorizing immigrant and BIPOC communities. We say: End racial profiling. End deportations without due process. Respect the rule of law.
🧒 Epstein’s Network & the Abuse of Children
Jeffrey Epstein may be gone, but his network of powerful pedophiles remains protected. The Trump administration has shielded individuals who could face charges — people who may also implicate Donald Trump himself, who has been convicted of sexual assault and credibly accused of being a part of Epstein’s ring of abusers. Survivors deserve the truth, justice, and protection. We say: No more hiding the abusers. Hold them all accountable.
This Is About All of Us
Whether it’s in Gaza, at the U.S. border, or behind closed doors of the wealthy and well-connected, the pattern is the same:
Abuse of power.
Dehumanization of victims.
Protection of perpetrators.
We cannot call ourselves a decent, free society if we stay silent while our government enables these crimes. Our humanity demands that we speak up — not just for our own communities, but for anyone whose dignity, safety, and future are under attack.
