  1. More than 300 people protested outside of the New York offices of Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand Monday to oppose sending U.S. weapons to Israel.

    At least 90 protesters were arrested,
    among them Chelsea Manning, a former U.S. soldier and whistleblower who leaked hundreds of thousands of military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks in 2011,
    as well as New York City Council Member Alexa Avilés and actor Hari Nef.
    The protests were organized by
    "Jewish Voice for Peace" and the "Sunrise Movement".
    According to JVP, the protesters consisted of U.S. military veterans as well as Jewish, Palestinian, Iranian, and Lebanese New Yorkers.

    The protesters were calling on the New York Democrats to support resolutions proposed by Senator Bernie Sanders last month
    that would block nearly $660 million in weapons sales to Israel.
    Sanders has attempted to block weapons to Israel before, and 19 Senate Democrats,
    including Gillibrand and Schumer, voted against his last effort in July.

    Israel is bombing Lebanon and Iran with U.S. support and aid, and continues to kill Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank despite a ceasefire.
    The war in Iran is overshadowing an ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and Israel is also accused of encouraging ethnic cleansing against Shia Muslims in southern Lebanon.

    “This is the moment when Schumer and Gillibrand must listen to their constituents,”
    Sonya Meyerson-Knox, the communications director with Jewish Voice for Peace, told the Associated Press Monday.
    “The majority of Americans and New Yorkers want a resolution to what the Israeli government is doing.”

  4. "'I think we can be a little audacious right now,' Shiney-Ajay told me prior to the call. 'I think the situation that we are in is so bleak that nothing but the most audacious plan could possibly get us out of it.'"

  5. Swing State Polls Show Harris 'Must Change Course' on Climate and Gaza, Says Sunrise

  6. Youth Arrested Demanding #VPDebate Question on #ClimateEmergency

    The #SunriseMovement wants CBS moderator Norah O'Donnell to ask Republican JD Vance "if his prayers outweigh the millions he takes from Big Oil to deny the climate crisis."

    "Just hours away from the U.S. vice presidential debate on Tuesday, six members of the youth-led Sunrise Movement were arrested for blocking the street outside #CBSNews headquarters in New York City to demand moderator Norah O'Donnell ask both candidates what they would do to take on the #FossilFuel-driven #ClimateEmergency.

    'The sit-in and blockade came as the death toll from #HurricaneHelene, which left a path of destruction across several southeastern states, hit at least 137. Sunrise has responded to the Category 4 storm with renewed calls to hold #FossilFuel giants accountable.

    "'In #NorthCarolina, I have watched buildings in my hometown be submerged in water, have seen entire towns washed away, trees and power lines covering the streets, people asking for help finding their loved ones, and friends reaching out for aid after losing their homes and livelihoods," #TaliaWilson of #Asheville said in a Sunrise statement.
