Today on #WorldHealthDay we stand in solidarity with the millions of people around the world who are advocating for equal access to #healthcare as a basic human right.
Every health system must provide quality health services—including sexual and reproductive health care—that reach every person.
Join the global call of #HealthForAll so that we can uphold the right of all people to reach the highest possible standard of health
An illustration with a deep purple background. There is a diverse group of people of different ages, races and ethnicities, all gathered together. In the back left corner is someone holding a Progress Pride Flag. On the right hand side of the card is a woman wearing a purple hijab and a shirt that reads ‘Health for all’. In the center is a woman holding a large placard that reads ‘equal access to health care is a human right.’ On the left hand side is a young boy with his fist in the air wearing a shirt that reads ‘proud feminist’. On the right-hand side is a pregnant woman, with her right hand on her belly.
This gave me an idea... one could, (*hypothetically of course*) paint bottle caps with messages for Gaza and, oh idk, super glue them to lamp posts, railings, other public spaces. But gosh, it sure would be a pain for someone to have to remove metal superglued to metal!
I've shared Nisreen Shehada's Instagram before but I wanted to share some more! In case you missed my last post, Nisreen is a dentist who ran a baking Instagram and now she, like hundreds of thousands of other Palestinians, is living under siege. Her Instagram (@nisreendiary) is documenting what daily life is like in Palestine right now. Please follow her beautiful account.
“You will not kill the hope in us. Freedom for Palestine”
Baladicenter, a continuation of Baladi Dance Group, was established in 1991 in Beit Jala, Palestine. Founded by a group of promising young people, with a mission to preserve and pass down their rich Palestinian heritage through generations, consolidating and strengthening the Palestinian identity. The group emerged in response to the occupation authorities' attempts to deny and erase the ancient roots and heritage of the Palestinian people.
Please consider buying a Keffiyeh* to support expanding local productions and keep the traditions of Palestine alive. They're currently restocking and hope to get orders out soon.
*Either spelling appears acceptable.
The dance is interspersed with footage of the Great March of Return where young men danced a Dabke circle under gunfire and tear gas from the Occupation Forces, and the civilian defiance of First Intifada, whose 36th anniversary was commemorated on December 8th.
Glory to the Martyrs! 🇵🇸
Glory to the Resistance! 🇵🇸
From River To The Sea Palestine Will Be Free! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Since Neely’s killing, the station located at the intersection of NoHo and SoHo has become a center for actions protesting the city’s racist criminalization of its unhoused residents and memorializing Neely. The crimson display, reminiscent of a brutal crime scene, was accompanied by a letter to “cop mayor” Eric Adams that called out “vigilante violence” and the structural imbalances of power and wealth in the city’s political and social landscape.
“We are fed up with the attacks on the working class, crime baiting, the austerity budgets, the endless demonizing of the most vulnerable people in our society,” the letter read. “This wasn’t a single tragedy — we are in a crisis. Whose side are you on?”
