Blog Post: I will not help you.
Podcast: Dying to Live - Here is the promo for Season 4 of the Project Warrior Podcast! I have never had so much fun recording myself. I am so so excited for this season!
The Buzz: I have been heartened to see that the turnout continues to grow for Pro-Palestinian protests. I have been disheartened to see the lack of media coverage. So here is my first hand account:
On March 2nd, it was largest turnout I’ve seen for a protest in Baltimore yet. A series of excellent speakers educated hundreds of people who came and then marched over 3 miles. We even shut down the I-83 highway as part of our route.
On March 7th, a wonderful group of speakers led a rally of at least 1000 people out in front of the White House. They shared that there were 500 additional people performing a sit-in in protest of the State of the Union address that was happening that evening.
Now for all of you election-minded people who say “Sure, Biden keeps vetoing a ceasefire and funding the genocide that’s caused over 30,000 innocent human beings to die, hundreds of thousands to lose limbs or get some other form of disablement, and millions to starve, but if we don’t support Biden, Trump will win!”
Q: Should someone cut off your hand or your foot?A: Neither. You should stop the person trying to cut off your limbs.
If you think your rights, your dignity and your humanity, were just given to you, you need to open a history book. These are things that were fought for and will be taken away at the first chance if they are not protected.Strong and powerful people benefit from your apathy and inaction. They do everything they can to discourage you from caring - like, oh I don’t know, believing that you only have two choices for leadership. Or the myth that participating in protests or supporting grassroot organizing is a huge commitment. Or that because your life is bearable you’re not being exploited.
If you start choosing dignity over comfort in any part of your life, you’ll see what I mean.
Recommendation: Use this link to contact your congressperson right now to urge them to call for a permanent ceasefire. It works like this:
You fill out the form.
You get a phone call connecting you to your senator.
You read off the script they give you.
You press *
You are connected to your next representative.
It takes 3.5 minutes. That’s all.
