Good morning. Remember that every day is a good day to encourage a Palestinian liberation mindset.

LEARN. Read and sign this petition from Doctors Against Genocide. If you are not in the U.S., please read and sign it anyway.

Image description: screenshot of the “Call to Action” from the petition referenced above. Click on the link above to read the full document.

NOTICE. How do you feel when you read the six demands outlined in the petition, including the first one, which reads, “Stop Bombing Hospitals and Attacking Healthcare and Aid Workers.” What comes up in your heart, mind or body when you consider how outrageous it is to need to tell people that it’s not OK to bomb hospitals?!

ACT. Sign the petition. Right now. If you are in a nation that also supports Israeli military action against children and healthcare workers, sign a petition for your government (or start a petition, if you can’t find one).

SHARE. Forward this email to at least ten friends and colleagues who need to sign the petition to tell the U.S. government to stop supporting Israeli attacks against children who need healthcare.

ASK. What resources do you need to talk about Palestine with friends and colleagues? Please reply to this email (or, if you are reading this online, leave a comment below) to let us know.* We’ll help you find the resources you need.

In solidarity for Palestinian liberation,

Kay Coughlin, on behalf of the Shades of Anger collective

*You can also continue the conversation with us in the Speaking Up Network, a private social media platform co-created by Animah Kosai, one of the leaders of Shades of Anger.

Shades of Anger was created by a global collective of women to raise awareness and inspire action to free Palestine. We chose the name of our collective to honor the poem, “Shades of Anger,” by Palestinian-Canadian poet Rafeef Ziadah. We also believe in liberation for Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, and all places where systems of oppression are causing immense suffering and crushing the life out humans. We are led by women of the Global Majority/BIPOC. Shades of Anger is for everyone who wants to act for liberation and you can learn more about it here.

Alt text: On the top half is a grey background with black text that reads "Shades of Anger 'Palestinians do not know the word impossible' - Fatima Bernawi, So why should we?" On the bottom half are three photos. The first is a photo of an adult with short greyy hair holding the hand of a young child, who is holding up a Palestinian flag high in their other hand, while standing on a hill overlooking a field of people and cars. The second is a black and white photo of a person with a long ponytail, holding a kuffiyeh and chanting at a protest. The last is a person wearing a kuffiyeh around their head, and a black and red dress, looking at the camera while holding up a Palestinian flag and a peace sign.
