#shutitdown4palestine
Actor and activist Sara Ramirez @therealsararamirez addresses the crowd, surrounded by other LGBTQIA activists standing in solidarity with Palestine: “I may have played a foreign policy advisor on TV, but I don’t have to be a real one to know that genocide and ethnics cleansing are WRONG!” #ShutItDown4Palestine 🇵🇸
German media is trying to silence all voices who speak up for Palestine – so we need to speak up even more and even louder. #wewillnotbesilenced
🇵🇸WE FIGHT BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THE STRUGGLE FOR PALESTINE IS A STRUGGLE FOR LIFE, FOR LAND, AND FOR LIBERATION! Join us on March 30, Land Day to #ShutItDown4Palestine
On March 30, 1976, Palestinians rose up in protest against the theft of their lands and livelihood. The Israeli occupation forces killed 6 Palestinians in response. Each year, Land Day is commemorated to mobilize against the theft of Palestinian land and to recognize the right of return for Palestinians to their lands. This year’s Land Day is especially urgent as the Israeli occupation and genocide intensifies with the full support of the U.S. government.
Join us in taking to the streets once more and shutting it down for Palestine – until there is a lasting ceasefire, an end to the siege on Gaza and a free Palestine from the River to the Sea!
Visit shutitdown4palestine.org to register your action or find one near you!
In NYC, join us for a massive rally and march!
📆 March 30
🕔 5pm
📍Times Square
Millions march for Palestine.
Speakers: @therealsararamirez, @officialjakegyllenhalal, @qween_jean.
‼️URGENT CALL TO ACTION‼️
🆘Two children, Rafif (13) and Rafik (15), are severely injured after bombing of their home. Their mother and 10 other family members were killed.
🆘They are immobile and stranded in #AlShifa Hospital. Their extensive and life threatening wounds require constant care – but, instead, their guardians and medical staff were forcibly removed from the hospital. Like all the other patients at Al Shifa, including children, they are completely alone, in pain and have not eaten in 4 days. This is utterly horrifying: NO CHILD should be in this situation. They require urgent medical attention and URGENT EVACUATION.
🔉We are calling on the UK Government, WHO and UN OCHA to act immediately and save Rafif and Rafik, as well as the hundreds of other patients.

Thank you @lanzybear and @watermelonpicturesco for welcoming us to this intimate screening of Walled Off; an incredibly powerful, moving, educational and galvanizing film by @vinarfuso , produced by @anwarhadid @rogerwaters @kwekumandela and Immortal Technique, that centers Palestinian humanity and stories over numbers, and shows the Palestinian perspective on how the ongoing Nakba continues today. Available on all digital platforms MAY 3rd. Spread the word!

Pic2: wide pic of the above.
Video2: panning the entrance to the screening room, all the beautiful creative community in support of this film and Watermelon Pictures.
Video3: selfie video of Qween and I with screening entrance room and community in the background, exclaiming “Solidarity!” “Watermelon Pictures!” “FREE PALESTINE” with Alana’s sister joining us toward the end.
Pic3: my hand holding up a black Watermelon Pics swag bag that reads “FROM THE RIVER TO THE SCREEN PALESTINE WILL BE SEEN” (obsessed) in English and Arabic, English in white, Arabic in red.
Video4: @munir_atalla who is part of the @watermelonpicturesco team, welcoming us inside the screening room and asking who here is Palestinian. The crowd erupts in a loud “WOOO”. Then he says “For all of you who didn’t go ‘wooo’, you are wrong because if you were invited here you are a part of our movement. In our thousands in our millions, we are all Palestinians. And so let’s hear it one more time- Who here is Palestinian?” Everyone erupts in an even louder “WOOO!”. Then Qween exclaims “Viva Viva Palestina!” The crowd laughs and enjoys it! Munir says “Yes.”
Pic4: @lanzybear and Walled Off filmmaker @vinarfuso sitting at the front of the room in a talk back with the audience. So so powerful and appreciated!

Meet @daianaalbukhari – a 22 year old content creator in Gaza. She is currently sheltering in a crowded school in Rafah. While Daiana is trying to evacuate her family out of Gaza, she has made the choice to stay behind to cover the genocide.
This is her message.
#foryou #fyp #explore #explorepage #insta #instagram
We’re performing Red Ink at Joes Pub April 3, 7:30pm and 9pm. Showing up for @ceciliagentili72 , her legacy and our beloved community she fought for, and loved, so fiercely. Won’t you join us? For tickets check the link in my bio.
As we speak, there are over 160 patients – many of whom are children – trapped at Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza.
They are in serious danger due to the Israeli military’s siege on the building.
PLEASE! share this video as widely as possible NOW –
we need to raise pressure to help evacuate these kids to safety.
Im @indyamoore
I’m @therealsararamirez
AND THIS IS AN URGENT APPEAL TO ALL OF YOU
Two of the children in extreme danger are siblings – their names are Rafik and Rafif.
They got severely injured on January 29th after an air strike hit their home, killing their mom and 10 other family members. Both kids got one of their legs amputated.
They are malnourished, scared, and not being allowed access to food or medicine.
Rafiq was interrogated and his phone was taken away.
We just found out that he and his sister Rafif have been separated from each other.
We desperately need to raise pressure to help evacuate these siblings and the rest of the terrified children trapped inside Al Shifa Hospital right now.
PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE WORD by sharing and tagging this video.
IT TRULY MATTERS if you share this video!
Please – help us draw urgent attention to these children’s plea for safe passage and peace.
Thank you to community for keeping one another safe, and affirming the world we know is possible. It’s nights like this one that keep me going. What a time to be alive.
