Dear Email, As the Trump administration escalates deportations and Congress debates aid packages to Israel, two advocacy movements are facing unprecedented repression. The Intercept has been documenting how Palestine solidarity activists and anti-ICE organizers are being targeted with similar tactics — from campus crackdowns to federal prosecutions — while the Democratic Party has failed to defend either cause. With midterm elections approaching, what do these failures mean for the future of progressive organizing? And how are these two movements strengthening each other in the face of repression? Join The Intercept columnist Natasha Lennard in conversation with Akela Lacy, senior politics reporter at The Intercept; Morriah Kaplan, interim executive director at IfNotNow; and Dr. Osama Abu Irshaid, executive director of American Muslims for Palestine, on Tuesday, February 10 at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT. RSVP here.  Across the country, activists are drawing connections between the fight for Palestinian liberation and the struggle for immigrant justice — two movements facing coordinated attacks from law enforcement, university administrations, and political leaders from both parties. As Democratic leadership continues to fund Israel’s military operations while failing to defend immigrant communities, organizers are building new coalitions and asking urgent questions about the party’s direction ahead of the midterms. We encourage you to participate by submitting your questions in advance. The conversation will include a Q&A session, providing an opportunity for you to engage with our panelists. To submit a question, RSVP today. Thank you for your continued support and readership. We are excited to connect with you at this exclusive virtual event. In solidarity,
