POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Jewish Voice for Peace is the world’s largest progressive, Jewish anti-Zionist organization, and we are proud to count ourselves among its members!

Join us at our NEW monthly organizing gatherings. Lean into anti-Zionism. Lean into relational organizing and community building. Be proud to struggle alongside your neighbors for a worthy cause.

Anti-Zionism is the center of our politics. Anti-Zionism is a way of life—it’s a way of relating to the world and to each other, a solidarity-oriented practice that deeply roots us here, in our communities! It’s a moral compass that helps us to see clearly: the struggle for Palestinian liberation is our struggle; all struggles against oppression, racism, and genocide are our struggles!

Know that your participation matters. In the U.S., there are no sidelines: we will make U.S. government complicity unsustainable; we will stand in opposition to the pro-fascist, pro-racist weaponization of antisemitism by Israel and its U.S. Jewish legacy organization collaborators; in the face of fearmongering and Zionist calls for isolationism, surrender, or retreat, our communities will reach further, grow larger, and show once more that ***HERE, WHERE WE LIVE*** we are never alone!

First Mondays. 6-7:30p. Check this page for updated locations and monthly meeting agendas. (These all-chapter gatherings will take the place of our weekly meeting schedule/format of the past year.) Masks required (and provided) for all indoor JVP gatherings. Have unmet access needs? DM @jvpnola with questions or requests for accommodations.

FOR OUR MARTYRS, FOR LIBERATION🇵🇸‼️

3 years ago today, “israel” escalated their genocide against Gaza, murdering thousands, displacing millions, and eradicating thousands of years of history. We will keep fighting. We will keep honoring our martyrs. We will show Tulane that we will not tolerate its complicity in genocide. We demand that Tulane discloses their investments and divest from genocide!

FREE PALESTINE‼️

Across the country, campaigns are growing to divest from Israel Bonds and corporations that enable and profit off of Israeli military and government violence against Palestinians–from municipalities to states, pension funds to even large faith organizations.

Is your community funding genocide and apartheid? Learn more and join the movement to break the bonds at jvp.org/break-the-bonds-divest/.

To see the full documentary and learn how you can break the bonds visit jvp.org/break-the-bonds-divest. The Israel Bonds documentary is created by Laura Deutch and Ella-Gabriel Mason.

PHONE ZAP! TODAY! Call @senbillcassidy 202-224-5824. Tell @bill_cassidy to “VOTE YES ON SENATE RESOLUTION 852.”

BACKGROUND: The resolution directly invokes the name of Palestinian American and Louisianan, Tawfic Abdel Jabbar, and eight other American citizens murdered by Israel since January 2022. It compels the release of information on these and related crimes committed by Israel, pursuant to section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 — with the ultimate aim of cutting off the flow of military assistance & weapons to Israel as a result of Israel’s grave human rights violations.

S.Res.852 - A resolution requesting information on Israel’s human rights practices pursuant to section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.
