It has always been up to all of us to build the communities of solidarity, resistance, and care we need, together. Let’s turn to each other and prepare to continue the fight in old and new ways.
See you in the organizing meetings, on the picket lines, in the streets.

“Poetry isn't bound by words alone,
it might be expressed by
silence, love, roses
rain, sea, storm
stars, shadows, and forests.”
From one of Three Syrian Exile Poems, by Faraj Bayrakdar (trans. Jonas Elbousty), up on the WLT Weekly.

I don’t understand what happened today at Harvard Bookstore, but the room and shelving spaces were filled with people.
I even saw some people watching outside from behind the glass. The books sold out and people asked me to sign on a piece of paper or on a notebook they had.
Thank you, Massachusetts, for welcoming me and listening and witnessing.

Whatever happens today, there will still be thousands of children trapped beneath the rubble in Gaza tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that.
There will still be 2 million people locked within a nightmare of our making.
Please don’t forget about them.
