Dear Change Links: I am writing in the hopes that it may influence some people at the recent No Kings and other protests I have attended. I think it is very important to demonstrate opposition to what our government is doing. As a disabled veteran, I am very concerned especially about the wars the US is waging or financing, and about the militarism at our so-called Department of War. But I think [...]

In the face of genocide, dispossession and occupation, our people in Palestine have displayed their unwavering steadfast resistance against the Zionist settler project, and have exposed this genocidal state of all of its weaknesses and failures. [...]

You are protesting against genocide, protesting against mega-violence, paid for, in large part, by American taxpayers who are [...]

As Change Links went to press, racist, fascist Zionist thugs in large numbers entered the campus of UCLA and viciously attacked a pro-Palestinian, anti-genocide encampment there while campus police, private security guards [...]
