From wherever we are, we will make it clear: the people of the world stand with Gaza, and demand a total arms embargo and sanctions against Israel. As we mark two years of genocide, we recall our responsibility to the people of Gaza, who have resisted an all-out war on their lives for over 700 days. In confronting those who continue to make this genocide possible, we affirm that the United States, Canada, Europe, and Arab states bear full complicity in Zionism’s crimes. The time is now to link arms, reenergize ourselves and our people, and stop the world for Gaza. Join us on October 5th for an international day of action. We will not rest until the genocide is brought to an end, until those who bear responsibility are made to answer for their crimes before an international tribunal, and until Palestine is free.

Please see info below to register. Flyer An autonomous group of queer, disabled individuals in Chicago/Zhigaagoong invites you to a screening of the powerful, new, short documentary Severed. Severed follows Mohamad Saleh, a Palestinian teenager from Gaza who lost his leg at only 12 years old, and has survived five Israeli military assaults. In those attacks, he lost his home, close family members, and best friends. Mohamad’s story is both deeply personal and emblematic of the thousands of Palestinians disabled by Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. This is an opportunity to center Palestinian voices, deepen understanding of the genocide, and build solidarity between Palestinians and the larger disability justice community. This October 19th screening of Severed is one of over 75 screenings happening this month, in resistance to and recognition of two years of Israel’s relentless genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, as well as National Disability Awareness Month in the U.S. When you register at the link https://bit.ly/SeveredOct19 we will send you a link to the film including instructions on how and where to watch it. We will also send discussion questions, as well as a link to a discord server where an ongoing/asynchronous discussion forum based on the questions provided will be hosted indefinitely. Access info: the film will feature subtitles and text blocks. There is an audio described version of the film in the works for folks with low vision but it is not available yet.

Please join us. We use these funds to promote activism in San Diego and surrounding counties. Our organization is 99% volunteer run and yet it costs thousands every month to keep fully engaged in local grassroots organizing.

Activism in Action

Networking for social justice and building coalitions for change.

Activist San Diego usually meets every third Monday of the month, from 6-8pm in person at the Joyce Beers Community Center in Hillcrest, and online. Please subscribe to receive regular invitations via email.
