A call for Jews to endorse Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions
People of conscience in the world have historically fought the injustice of apartheid through diverse forms of boycott, divestment and sanctions. As in the struggle of South Africans against apartheid, we in the Hudson Valley support the Palestinians in their fight for justice.
From the state violence we've seen recently in Colombia and Palestine to the ongoing atrocities against poor, Black, Brown and Indigenous communities at here at home, it is as clear as ever that our anti-militarist struggle must be rooted in anti-colonial analysis and internationalist. We must understand the wars we seek to end as functions of this same, broader system and take action in solidarity with other communities being actively attacked by that same system accordingly. Our struggle is collective and our power is solidarity.
Today, and in the coming days, there are several actions we can each take to show up for our Palestinian comrades and I've listed a few below. Please join us in taking a stand in this critical moment, and continuing to be involved in the long term organizing to dismantle these systems of violence entirely.
Thank you as always, for being a part of this movement and community. We are grateful to be in this fight with you.
In love and solidarity always,
Brittany Ramos DeBarros

My name is Tarteel, and I work with the CPT Hebron team. Recently, we are partners with Good Shepherd Collective "GSC" in Stop the "Hebron Fund" campaign to Highlight the legal violation of the "Hebron Fund" inside the USA.
The Hebron Fund plays a crucial role for the support of the settler movement through financial aid of the settler movement in Hebron. The Hebron Fund is registered as a US-based charitable organization. As such, it receives tax-deductible donations from the US - money from the US-American taxpayers. The campaign to Stop the Hebron Fund aims to stop the transfer of charitable money to this racist and illegal organization.
We need to collect more signatures for the petition and especially people from NY, however, we've been having a hard time finding organizations that could support the campaign, so If you are from NY, Part of an organization that is based in NY, or you know organizations or people who could support us, please contact us.
Feel free to contact me or the Palestine team if you have any questions,
Looking forward to hearing back from you,
Best Regards,
Tarteel
