FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE! 🇵🇸✊🏽

On the second anniversary of the Al Aqsa Flood, ACT Cordillera joins the city wide mass action standing with the people of Palestine. We condemn the genocidal occupation by Zionist Israel, backed by the US war machine, that bombs homes, hospitals, and schools, robbing children of their right to education and a future. From the Cordillera to Gaza, we fight for freedom, justice, and classrooms free from war and violence.

End the US-Israel Genocide in Palestine!
Lift the Blockade on Gaza!
Free the Global Sumud Flotilla Activists!
From the Philippines to Palestine, Stop the US War Machine!
Long live the Palestinian struggle for national liberation!
Long live international solidarity!

Statement of the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) on the Second Anniversary of the Al Aqsa Flood

On this day, two years since the Al Aqsa Flood, we stand with the people of Palestine whose struggle for liberation endures amidst one of the most brutal genocides of our time. The Zionist state of Israel, armed and abetted by U.S. imperialism, continues its siege and bombardment of Gaza—targeting schools, hospitals, and refugee shelters, killing teachers, students, and entire families in cold blood.

The Palestinian struggle stands in the same current that birthed every people’s revolt against conquest — from the anti-colonial uprisings of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, to our own people’s fight against dictatorship and imperial control. For more than seventy years, the Zionist project has mirrored the very patterns of occupation we have known: land seized, voices silenced, resistance branded as terror. Yet history teaches us that empires fall, and peoples who fight for liberation endure.

We condemn the ongoing ground invasion of Gaza City and the illegal seizure of the Global Sumud Flotilla, which sought only to bring solidarity and humanitarian aid to a starving people. These are not acts of “security” but the violent enforcement of apartheid and colonial rule.

As teachers, we reject the normalization of genocide and disinformation that attempts to erase Palestinian suffering. Education must serve truth, not tyranny. We are called to speak the names of those silenced, to expose the imperial interests behind the massacre, and to link the Palestinian struggle with our own fight for national sovereignty and justice.

End the US-Israel Genocide in Palestine!
Lift the Blockade on Gaza!
Free the Global Sumud Flotilla Activists!
From the Philippines to Palestine, Stop the US War Machine!
Long live the Palestinian struggle for national liberation!
Long live international solidarity!
