Palestinians around the world commemorate May 15 as Nakba Day. This year, we marked 77 years of an ongoing Nakba, or catastrophe, against the Palestinian people.

The original Nakba happened in 1948, when the government of Israel destroyed hundreds of Palestinian villages, killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, and ethnically cleansed hundreds of thousands more.

This brutal campaign to erase Palestinians from their homeland never ended. As part of the escalating genocide in Gaza, the Israeli government has deliberately blocked all aid to Gaza for months. While aid trucks wait outside, 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza are starving—half of whom are children.

Last week Rashida Tlaib spoke out about this forced starvation on the floor of the House of Representatives. As the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, Rashida continues to demand her colleagues end their silence and end their complicity in these war crimes.

For Nakba Day 2025, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib reintroduced a historic resolution in Congress to recognize this ongoing Nakba and call for an end to U.S. complicity in the genocide against Palestinians.

This Nakba Day, will you sign on as a grassroots co-sponsor of Rashida’s resolution to demand Congress recognize the ongoing Nakba and end U.S. support for genocide?
