Contact Your Local Assembly Member About AB 1468
AB 1468 is an authoritarian, anti-democratic, and Trumpian bill that would crimp rather than protect the educational objectives of our schools. Under this bill, ethnic studies curriculum would be put under high scrutiny by education officials to not be what they deem as antisemitic or divisive by forcing a concentration on domestic issues. It would install damaging censorship in place of what should be building the ability of our children to think critically. Rather than creating safety in schools, this legislation would build ignorance and xenophobia. Read more about AB 1468 here.

Tell Congress: ARMS EMBARGO NOW
Since October 2023, the U.S. government has been arming the Israeli military’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza to the tune of tens of billions of dollars. Now, the Trump administration is picking up where the Biden administration left off and has approved $8.5 billion more in weapons sales to the genocidal Israeli government.
The Israeli military continues to murder Palestinians with impunity in both Gaza and the West Bank.
The Israeli military is able to continue these atrocities because of funding and weapons from the U.S. government, despite mass opposition to this policy from most people in the U.S. This must end. It must end now.
Write to Congress. Demand an arms embargo and an end to military funding to Israel NOW.
Demand that San Diego County Remove its Biased and Dangerous Educational Materials
The San Diego County Office of Education released a so-called resource guide on its website purporting to educate families, educators, and community members about events in Palestine and Gaza since October 7, 2023.
The one-sided narrative in the resource page threatens to encourage silencing Palestinian advocates, fuel anti-Arab and Islamophobic sentiment in schools within San Diego County, and perpetuate the violent incidents that Arab and Muslim students have already confronted within our community.
Please email county authorities now to “demand immediate removal of this instructional resource page until the County fulfills its responsibilities to include accurate, unbiased content that reflects multiple perspectives based on sound research.”
