2 weeks to go. Olympia is fasting Nov. 16 - 22. We are also raising funds for food access for Gaza and local communities that need support. In response to the call to action from Bisan and Palestinian Youth Movement, parents, caregivers, and friends across the USA and beyond are launching a solidarity fast to bring attention to the genocidal starvation of the people of Gaza by Israel. We demand: THE IMMEDIATE, UNRESTRICTED FLOW OF AID INTO GAZA AN IMMEDIATE ARMS EMBARGO ON ISRAEL  AN END TO THE GENOCIDE  We invite organizations, teams, and individuals that share our demands to join us in our ongoing relay fast. We will have an accessible menu of options for how individuals or teams of any size can participate and amplify the effort. Parenting is political, and as parents, we all hold a conscience-driven call to protect children everywhere. By leveraging our moral authority as parents, caretakers, and allies, we use our voices to clearly say: Stop starving Gaza! Stop sending bombs! Stop killing children now!  Bang the pots – make noise. As Bisan said,  “the sounds of [Gaza’s] empty stomachs and the voice of humanity must be louder than [Israel’s] brutality.”
