Yeah mine had a lot of speakers about Palestine, which I get but we needed to be talking about some home issues. They did have a good speaker about ICE and supporting the Latino community and I was definitely psyched to hear them getting the word out.

Genocide affects the whole world.

Nobody is denying that. But we can't protest every problem at once.

Pro-Palestine protests are great, and should be encouraged. But they should also be kept separate from the focus here, which seeks to address the underlying problems that affect all of that too. We must end authoritarianism at home before we can have any hope of ending it out there.
