A Note From Rhiannon

Call for a Ceasefire and Taking Action

The podcast episode highlights the urgent need for a ceasefire in the current conflict between Israel and Palestine. The speaker encourages listeners to take action by calling their representatives daily and demanding an end to the violence. They emphasize that anyone can participate, regardless of expertise, and provide resources such as ceasefiretoday.com for more information. Additionally, the speaker promotes the international day of solidarity called Shut It Down for Palestine on November 9th, where people can engage in various forms of protest and support, such as walkouts, sit-ins, and pickets. They stress the importance of showing solidarity and wearing a kafiya, the traditional Palestinian scarf. Many organizations, including the Palestinian youth movement and National Students for Justice in Palestine, are calling for these actions.
