Easy Actions to Take
Why: Leaked documents published on Jan. 23, 2025, expose a deep partnership between Israel’s military operations and Microsoft. We now know that Israel’s military used Microsoft’s cloud platform (Azure) alongside a “suite of communications and messaging systems” and millions of dollars of engineering support to carry out Israel's massive attacks on Gaza.

Why: 15 Palestinian first responders were found in a mass grave in Gaza on March 23 — executed by the Israeli occupation forces while trying to save lives. The International Association of EMTs and Paramedics (IAEP), which claims to protect emergency responders, has said nothing. This silence is not neutral. Organized by CodePink
Why: The House just passed an extremely oppressive Voter Suppression bill that will take away voting rights from tens of millions of immigrants, women, elderly, POC, and more. This is a clear attempt at manipulating voter rolls ahead of the mid-term elections next year. The SAVE Act progresses to the Senate soon. If it passes the Senate, it will become law.
