Ceasefire Now Resource List
I have compiled this resources list for a ceasefire now. It includes ways to get care and connect with others during this time of immense grief and fear. It includes ways to take action from home and in the streets. It includes educational resources. And it even includes a compilation of songs for grief and protest. I hope that you find it helpful and supportive. I will try my best to keep it actively updated. Last updated: 11/30/23.
