Hakeem Jeffries’s stance is morally unconscionable and politically myopic. Polling has shown that the Democratic Party leadership’s inability to distance itself from the onslaught in Gaza cost its candidates many votes in 2024. This pattern will repeat if the party is unable to change its stance.

A Serious Autopsy: How Democrats Lost the White House democraticautopsy.org
DEMAND CHANGE from the DEMOCRATS! NOSHIP protesters in New Orleans call out the Democrats for supporting US imperialism and funding Israel's actions, despite public demands to stop AIPAC funding and impose an arms embargo.
The US-Israel wars in Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, and across the Middle East are creating a deep rift between America's ruling class and working people. Most Democrats oppose more aid to Israel, yet Schumer and other top establishment Democrats refuse to listen to their voters.
India Walton rallied with protesters outside the #DNC Spring Meeting in New Orleans demanding a release of the 2024 DNC election autopsy and an END to support for AIPAC and genocide in Gaza.
"Why are you dropping bombs on babies?" Thank you India Walton and the activists in New Orleans who stood up to the DNC leaders who promised transparency but continue to hide the 2024 campaign autopsy from voters in order to protect the Israeli lobby.
After the DNC Resolutions Committee yesterday dodged everything about Israel, @indiab.bsky.social and members of Jewish Voice for Peace Action are handing out flyers with Democratic voter polling info to DNC members outside its semiannual meeting and urging them to actually LISTEN to their voters.
Our mobile billboard is parked outside the DNC meeting in New Orleans today with clear and urgent messages to Democrats: *72% of Democrats call it a "Genocide". You should too. *Only 39% of Democrats support Schumer as leader. *RELEASE THE ELECTION AUTOPSY

This is the endpoint of military industrial complex power and a political class that is obsessed with war: An unhinged president with his finger on the button threatening to commit genocide against 93 million people.
Last night, the U.S. tested an unarmed Minuteman III ICBM. ICBMs are an immediate threat to public safety. Once launched, ICBMs cannot be recalled, almost guaranteeing a retaliatory strike. The risk of nuclear escalation is too high for the added risk that a test is misinterpreted as nuclear use.
RootsAction Mourns the Loss of a Giant. Jesse Jackson was a lifelong leader in the effort to transform the Democratic Party into a vehicle for peace and justice, a struggle he waged at the 1972 Democratic convention where he was a force behind Sen. George McGovern’s antiwar candidacy.
The U.S. public is tired of war, disgusted by the genocide, and sick of continued military adventurism. We've been flooding Congressional offices with emails. Now, we're circling the White House and Congress with mobile billboards.

Starbucks workers are planning to strike, beginning tomorrow, at locations that are unionized. They need our support to gain a fair contract & a living wage. DO NOT CROSS THE PICKET LINE If you go to non-unionized locations, give your name, to be shouted when your order is ready, as "Unionize Now"
Zohran Mamdani’s victory belongs to everyone working for human rights and social justice. Despite the efforts by billionaires and supporters of Israel’s genocidal policies, this grassroots campaign has won. (1/2)

For years, local governments & police departments have cooperated with federal agencies through the Joint Terrorism Task Forces. Now, through Trump's new NPSM-7 directive, these task forces will focus on “leftist” groups. History shows us what happens when our movements are targeted by the feds.

RootsAction statement on DNC’s defeat of resolution for arms embargo on Israel: "A party that refuses to call for an end to arming genocide is a party that is continuing the moral collapse of the Biden administration that made the start of the genocide possible." Full statement below 👇
