Renee and I are proud supporters of Led By Donkeys, a UK based activist group that's about art, activism, and accountability. LBD makes videos (art) from the direct actions they take (activism) that speak truth to power (accountability). Their YouTube channel is here:
A few days ago they did a direct action across the street from the Labour Party's headquarters in London. They "wrapped the building opposite Labour HQ, turning the street into the scene of a devastated Gaza neighbourhood. It was designed as a direct communication to the Labour government, which is providing weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to Netanyahu".
Here's the video from their action:
It's beyond horrifying what's happened in Gaza - ethnic cleansing, genocide. Yet most shrug it off, as it's just what happens now. I hope the Israeli government is charged with war crimes.
From the video:
"You can't look away. You can't ignore the genocide. You can't not protest this. It's our duty as humans".
tty next time,
