On Election Day, will I regret not having done more?
Here's something that scares me, as an organizer: the prospect of watching results roll in on Election Day and asking myself, could I have done more?

It would be heartbreaking to come close and fall just barely short.

The brutality of U.S. police officers toward African-Americans is intolerable. As activists realize that the same systems of oppression killing them in the United States are active worldwide, the movement spreads beyond American borders. Non-violent activists from Ferguson, Missouri, traveled to Palestine in 2015 to cement a growing sense of solidarity and connection with the shared struggles of Palestinians against the Israeli occupation.
