The signing of the Oslo Accords on September 13, 1993 marked the end of the First Intifada. Marketed to the world as the start of the “peace process” between Palestine and the Zionist entity, the true goal of the Accords was the stagnation and fragmentation of Palestinian resistance, both in the homeland and the diaspora.

Oslo mandated recognition of Israel without ever formally recognizing a Palestinian state. The Accords established the Palestinian Authority as the governing body of the Palestinian Territories. The PA’s role under Oslo would soon become clear: that of a puppet regime for the Zionists, appointed to oversee, manage, and ultimately demobilize and dissuade the Palestinian masses from the path of resistance.

Geographically, Oslo split up the territories of the West Bank into Areas A, B, and C, further fragmenting Palestinians. Area A, the smallest of the 3 areas, was the only one in which PA forces were given control over security. In Areas B and C, the Zionist entity was to maintain full security control. These arrangements, which continue today, are what helped facilitate the growth of Zionist settlements across the West Bank.

In the years following Oslo, Palestinians became more isolated from one another and unable to organize politically beyond their neighborhood or village. The Palestinian Authority served as collaborator and facilitator of this process, and was managed by Israel as a political vehicle through which it could quell and contain popular resistance among Palestinians.

Since the 2021 Unity Intifada, the unraveling of Oslo has only accelerated. As the PA’s popularity reaches an all-time low among Palestinians in the West Bank, the ruling PA elites on whom Oslo depends find themselves increasingly unable to contain or silence the Palestinian masses over whom they presumably govern.

As Palestinians work to rebuild our institutions and reassert our national people’s struggle, the project of Oslo continues to fall deeper and deeper into disarray. May we live to witness Oslo’s dissolution, and may Palestine’s liberation soon be realized.

From our friends… and for our friends. ♥️

Hello, it’s me. I’m in California dreaming…

Friday, August 30 - we *hope* SB 1208 will brought to the Assembly floor for a vote today🔮a big wave 🌊 of calls ☎️ to each of the San Diego County Assembly Members today would be hugely impactful. 🐬 🐬🐬

😵‍💫 Putting a landfill in an already deeply compromised watershed is a horrible idea. We hope everyone agrees, we can’t go backwards, we must unite to heal the region!

📣 Good news: Democracy means we have a say! We can get this done!

Despite its moral and legal responsibilities, the Biden administration is still arming, backing, and funding Israel’s genocide in Gaza. You have the power to do something about it.

Reposted from 🙏🏽

🗣️ Speak Out. Uplift Palestinian voices and advocate for an end to Israel’s genocide, both online and in your community.

✊ Attend protests and actions. Join millions around the world who are demanding an end to Israel’s oppression. They won’t stop until Palestinians are free.

🚫 Refuse to support or purchase from companies that profit from Israel’s oppression of Palestinians – like Puma, Chevron, HP, and Sodastream.

❤️‍🩹 Support Palestinian families and organizations in Gaza by donating to provide them with basic necessities.

📞 Call your representatives, even if they’ve called for a ceasefire. The US arms Israel with the bombs it uses to kill Palestinian families. That has to stop.

🕊️ Amplify the call for an arms embargo. The US can end Israel’s genocide today by cutting off its supply of weapons.

🗞️ BREAKING NEWS: member David Alvarez is holding SB1208 hostage! 😣😤😡

☎️ Call and ask him to pass SB1208 which prevents further damage to the Tijuana River Watershed region from an unnecessary landfill.

⏰ it is imperative that residents of District 80 give Assembly member Alvarez a call this morning. 🤙🏽🌝

🧲 Every call can make a huge impact on passing this bill and stopping the landfill!

Save the Date! We will celebrate Activist San Diego’s 25th Anniversary on Saturday, November 9th with an huge community celebration event.

Are you down? Mark your calendar. Tickets coming soon.

ACTION REQUIRED: our community members in the South Bay are living in a nightmare! Toxic pollution has made the air stink and closed the beaches because the water can make you sick!

Join us to demand more attention to these horrible conditions and faster solutions!

Devastating loss for movement organizers in Vermont 🙏🏽🫀✊🏽 Help them rebuild if you are able.

We are saddened to hear about the fire that destroyed Marshfield Vermont's The Center for Grassroots Organizing arts/activism/educational space on Saturday. (Luckily nobody was hurt, but *A LOT* was lost). Please share this and pitch in if you can help- donation links are here: https://grassrootscenter.net

"At around 10 AM yesterday, Saturday the 10th of August, our community space at the Grassroots Center burned to the ground. No people or animals were inside, but the entire 4,500 square foot building was gone in about 15 minutes. The lights in the event space had shorted out for a few seconds the night before, but then had appeared to be fine. We suspect that the short smoldered in the sawdust insulation in the ceiling until the next morning and then caught, but we’re not likely to ever be sure what caused it.
We lost a lot of what we do. All of our commercial kitchen equipment and the half-completed kitchen itself, all of our arts and protest production gear; projectors, computers and presentation equipment; a one-ton cast iron printing press from 1901 and all the lead type; years of protest and educational art works by students and communities; chainsaws and forestry tools, all of our farming gear, an extensive shop of power tools and construction equipment of all kinds from our solidarity construction projects plus my own professional carpentry tools; and the beautiful timber frame back barn which housed our animals in the past. We lost a lot of our physical capacity to convene people and support them in working together on their own interests.
But we’re still here. Friends from other corners of the Movement and the country have come around, joining the board, making food together, staying positive and telling stories of all our work together. The team is already standing up the recovery and rebuilding plan. I can’t imagine what it would be like to face this mess, both physically and metaphysically, without their support. It should also be said that the local firefighters and emergency responders showed up fast and worked hard all day to get the fire out, and the rest of our buildings are still standing due to their work. Thank you Walden, Cabot, Marshfield, Plainfield, and East Montpelier fire departments and EMS, for everything.
Unfortunately, though the barns were in the midst of repairs, insurance underwriters refused to insure the building until the work was done, which we hoped would be early next year.
So where does all that leave us? The Grassroots Center board and organizers are rolling up their sleeves and facilitating the recovery and rebuilding plan. We’ve already secured a 5,000 square foot hoop barn from a donor in Barnard, Vermont We need funds for dumpsters and a skid steer to clear the debris, a crane and truck to move the new barn, and to replace the lost equipment and supplies to renew our ability to do the work. YOUR DONATION AT THIS CRITICAL TIME IS DEEPLY FELT AND APPRECIATED.

Tax-exempt donations for supplies for our ongoing programming in regenerative agriculture and community organizing can be made through the Global Justice Ecology Project.
Please consider making a personal donation for the greater need of rebuilding the community barn space. While not eligible for tax-exempt donations, this effort is key to our recovery. These donations can be made via Venmo .
THANK YOU"
