Mashup Score: 21Demand the Immediate Release of Palestinian Student Activist Mahmoud Khalil from DHS detention - 4 month(s) ago
On the evening of March 8, 2025, Columbia University student activist Mahmoud Khalil was detained by the Department of Homeland Security. The arrest comes on the heels of the Department of State’s announcement that it plans to deport students affiliated with pro-Palestine protests. The student, who is Palestinian, is a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. Columbia University, which recently published a new protocol on its plans to cooperate with ICE, has targeted Khalil for his Palestinian identity and outspoken activism on multiple occasions over the last 17 months. He served as a lead negotiator during the Gaza Solidarity Encampment last spring and has frequently appeared in media interviews and press conferences. Columbia’s continued acquiescence to federal agencies and outside partisan institutions has made this situation possible. Like many other Arab and Muslim students, Khalil has been the target of various zionist harassment campaigns, fueled by doxxing websites like Canary Mi

Mashup Score: 8TELL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS TO #SAVEHIVFUNDING! - 8 month(s) ago
Thanks to the support of advocates and community members who supported the #SaveHIVFunding campaign in 2023, we were able to successfully avert $767 million in domestic HIV funding cuts proposed by House Republicans, as well as lift up calls for a National PrEP Program. With your support, we were able to build bipartisan support in the Senate to fund HIV prevention and treatment services for another year. Unfortunately, we are again dealing with drastic proposed cuts to HIV funding, possibly over $500 million, by House Republicans as we get closer to the 2030 federal deadline for ending the HIV epidemic. US funding has resulted in treatment access for at least half a million Americans living with HIV who receive support annually. Domestic HIV prevention efforts have accelerated with the establishment of the first National HIV/AIDS Strategy in 2010 and the announcement of the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative in 2019, resulting in a 16% reduction in new HIV infections since 2017 in A
