MY MOTHER’S DAY MESSAGE.
I was invited by @actupny to speak at their protest at the GLAAD awards in New York City. I decided to speak about silence, because of the heartbreak I experience from all the people who decide to be silent, passive and to prioritize their jobs, comfort and luxury over the fight for an ongoing genocide to stop. I was honored to protest alongside wonderful humans such as @afeefness , @harsh__babe and @therealsararamirez , who have been fighting and organizing for months. Thank you @actupny for inviting me to speak alongside many amazing people who keep fighting for a #freepalestine !
head over to @actupny to learn more about @glaad ‘s complicities and escalate pressure everywhere else possible
This is a big deal!!! This is what trans Palestinians have been saying for months. Do not allow them to tear our movement down because some people prefer Zionism over trans people and some gay people prefer settler Colonialism over black and brown people.
Shame on @glaad for refusing to divest from genocide.
Repost @jawanzajames Director of Organizing @vocalnewyork : Honored to have been asked to join Democracy Now! For a second time, albeit for incredibly violent circumstances.
I talked about the murder of #JordanNeely and how it’s connected to the structural, political violence happening to people experiencing homelessness in NYC and across the U.S.

Do not let anyone pinkwash the movement for a Free Palestine. In the words of @yaffasutopia :
“Do not allow them to tear our movement down because some people prefer zi0nism over trans people and some gay people prefer settler colonialism over Black and Brown people.”
.
It’s giving COINTELPRO and WE’RE. NOT. HAVING IT.
The People > fascism.
None of us are free until all of us are free.
.
In the words of Assata Shakur:
“It is our duty to fight for our freedom.
It is our duty to win.
We must love each other and support each other.
We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

Last night @actupny disrupted the @glaad awards in the best way possible.
GLAAD is well known in the LGBTQAI community to be problematic, akin to an organic food stamp with no restrictions on what makes it so. In the past 7 months of this genocide, GLAAD has not only remained silent but partnered with union busting companies such as Google, Amazon, Starbucks, Coco-Cola, and dozens more. They have also aligned themselves with the ADL, who unapologetically brags about having their hooks in Silicon Valley companies including Meta and X (formerly twitter).
ACTUP is in a way a parent organization of GLAAD (Vito Russo), and as such feels a deep responsibility to hold them accountable. The demands are to cut ties with the ADL and union busting companies, and to speak up for Queer Palestinians, who are not spared from the bombs our tax dollars fund.
Do better @glaad
