If you’ve ever wondered, “What can I do?” know this: protests in the U.S. matter most. This country funds the war crimes, and staying silent here isn’t neutrality; it’s privilege. Your voice can make a difference! And if not now, then when? Palestine will be talked about for the rest of our lives. When the world looks back on this moment, will you be able to say you stood up or will you pretend you did while having stayed silent?

Turns out, the base of the basic sour-dough bagel at Bagel-ish IS vegan. The whole thing! When items are added to the specialty bagels, they become not Vegan. The Baby Bagel is Vegan, the Plain Bagel is vegan, and so are many of the toppings to make a sandwich. Beth explains in this video. Instagram > Bagel-ish is a Sponsor!
