Wow! This group calls for Genocide in their post! That is pretty alarming that a Rapid City based Native American advocacy organization would directly call for the Genocide of all Jews in Israel! That is exactly that their closing phrase “from the River to the Sea” signifies! The destruction of Israel and death to those who inhabit it! Pretty hateful!!
At the very root of Pride was the deep knowing that violence and the attempt to erase Q***r and Trans Black and Brown bodies and voices would not be tolerated. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
We would take to the streets, make noise, and disrupt systems determined to destroy us. 🗣️
Those moved beyond complacency, and conscious of the privileges they held in these systems would change from bystander to accomplice. From passivity, to action. All eyes and hearts on the fight at hand.
In the spirit of Pride, we must continue to rise up, call out injustice, inspect our privileges and refuse complacency. ✊🏽
And although you may be called to pause and celebrate Pride in this moment, you must be far more called to action in ensuring our Palestinian Relatives continue to exist - not amidst the bombing, rubble, ashes and heartache that currently surrounds them - but in their homes, with their families and on their land, safe, secure and thriving. From the River to the Sea. 🇵🇸
