Good morning! Always remember: YOU can take action to help liberate the people of Palestine, every day.

LEARN. Read this article from Al Jazeera by Mohamed Abdou, a North African-Egyptian Muslim anarchist interdisciplinary activist-scholar, to learn more about the connection between the liberation of Palestine and Turtle Island (the land currently known as North America).

Learn more about Turtle Island in this Youtube video. (To the Elders from Six Nations who shared this story and whose land I reside upon, Chi Miigwech.)

In solidarity for liberation for Palestine,

Rebecca Steckle, on behalf of the Shades of Anger collective

Shades of Anger was created by a global collective of women to raise awareness and inspire action to free Palestine. We also believe in liberation for Sudan, the 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.
