We Must Take Action for Palestine
Dear Journ Family,
We cannot continue to watch the horror in Palestine without taking action.
While there is now a ceasefire, the terrifying experience of living through airstrikes continues on. Families now work to rebuild, access medicine, clean drinking water and find shelter, after the worst violence in years.
We will always stand against injustice and promise to be an active part of our global community.
