We’re continuing our monthly recommendations differently. With a very heavy heart but a new determination. We realized in the past weeks the values we stand for would be empty if we remained silent, so we made clear we stand with the Palestinian people. We join calls not only for an immediate ceasefire, but an end to the occupation and apartheid system in place.
Always but especially in times like these, we need to educate ourselves and use our voices. So, we share some of the resources below, and invite you to find and add more. Finally, we wish for all of us to keep some glimmer of hope in our humanity by speaking up and coming together. Let this be a reminder to inform ourselves of the peoples’ struggles all over the world and stand in solidarity for freedom and dignity for all.

In order for me to write poetry that isn’t political, I must listen to the birds and in order to hear the birds the warplanes must be silent. – Marwan Makhoul
