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?
