FEBRUARY 26, 2024 We mourn the loss of Aaron Bushnell, an active-duty member of the US Air Force, who lit himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in DC because he "could no longer be complicit in genocide" in Gaza. Self-immolation as an act of protest is widely recognized as the most extreme form of protest possible to publicly end a person's own life in the most violent and severe way is a stark warning for our nation. Now, two US citizens have self-immolated over the US-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza in less than three months. We continue to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire to end the ongoing starvation, death, and collective punishment of millions of Palestinians. President Biden, our Commander-in- Chief, continues to ignore staff dissent over the mass suffering caused by our leaders' complicity. President Biden has the unique power to mitigate the harms being done-not through useless backchannel conversations, but through established processes of international law and strong diplomacy. He can choose to change our current trajectory of unnecessary destruction. He can choose to condition our support to strong adherence to international humanitarian law, and condemn the Israeli government's violations which have reduced Gaza to rubble. President Biden failed Gaza by vetoing the ceasefire resolution for a third time. President Biden's refusal to acknowledge the human dignity of Palestinians is unacceptable, and instead of working with the majority of the world supporting a ceasefire, he continues to sanction Palestinian bloodshed and suffering. Aaron was "always trying to think about how we can actually achieve liberation for all with a smile on his face." May his sacrifice be a haunting reminder for those who refuse to change course. ADMINISTRATION STAFF CEASEFIRE NOW mmm ******* ******** Press inquiries can be directed to StaffersforCeasefire@gmail.com

Fifty Shades of Whey @davenewworld_2 "We have power, we just don't hold it. In order to hold it, we have to organize to grasp it collectively." - one of Aaron Bushnell's last posts on Reddit 5:53 PM. Feb 28, 2024 1.1M Views :
EN Michael Tracey @mtracey There's a faked screenshot going around of something Aaron Bushnell supposedly said on Reddit. But, again, it's fake. Instead of contending with his actually-stated views, certain people prefer to fabricate evidence of him being a rabid Jew hater. Very original tactic lili & @liliesuu This is who leftists are praising acebush1 2mo ago Palestine will be free when all the jews are dead 23 Reply Share 9:00 PM Feb 27, 2024 102.4K Views 267 456 2.5K 7:57 AM Feb 28, 2024 223.8K Views 214 : ↑
