This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal. – Toni Morrison
We cannot repeat these wise #words by the amazing Toni Morrison enough 🧡
We invite you to use them as an #inspiration and choose not to remain silent in our current times of dread.

Background image - evening, boat in ocean flying Palestinian flag with FFC and TM logos. Text: EMERGENCY Israel has attacked the Global Sumud Flotilla. Unarmed people of conscience, abducted in international waters. This is piracy. This is kidnapping. The flotilla did not break any laws. What is unlawufl is genocide, the deadly blockade of Gaza, the use of starvation as a weapon of war, and the piracy of civilians vessels and abduction of all those on board.
Background image - evening, boat in ocean flying Palestinian flag with FFC amd TM logos. Text: We will never stop challenging Israel's illegal blockade - a siege weaponized to starve, silence, and imprison Palestinians. Stand with us to break the siege and hold governments and institutions accountable for enabling Israel's crimes.
EMERGENCY: ISRAEL ATTACKS GSF
Israel has attacked the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters. People of conscience have been abducted.
The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and the Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.

“One of poetry's great effects, through its emphasis upon feeling, association, music and image – things we recognize and respond to even before we understand why – is to guide us toward the part of ourselves so deeply buried that it borders upon the collective.”
-- Tracy K. Smith
