The Israeli military is bombing Rafah, the most densely populated area in the world, while Americans watch the Super Bowl. This is intentional. This is genocide.

We're demanding the world watching the #superbowl turn their eyes to #Rafah . #alleyesongaza #CeasefireNOW

This is the statement we wrote &, as the RAWI #savemasaferyatta board, sent to other writers & colleagues as a customizable template text with an invitation to speak up about the ongoing genocide in Palestine. But this carefully considered statement says much more than just that--

Tomorrow, thousands of U.S. writers, teachers, students, editors, and publishers gather in Kansas City, Missouri, for the Association of Writers and Writing Programs annual conference. On the left, a plea. On the right, the response. Shame on you, AWP.
