We at ioby, like many in our communities, have felt helpless, angry and sickened by the recent violence in Palestine and Israel. This crisis is many miles from the neighborhoods where ioby works, and yet it has felt close to home for so many of us.

Some of our neighbors have lost loved ones, or have lost sleep waiting to hear from those they care about. Our neighborhoods across the country have seen a spike in hate speech and violence against our Arab, Muslim, Palestinian and Jewish neighbors. Some have felt fearful for their safety, because their identities put them at risk of being targeted by hate in their own neighborhoods. And for many, the images of endless war, cruelty and oppression are as familiar as they are traumatic.

As ioby works towards being an anti-racist organization, we work intentionally with BIPOC and immigrant communities fighting for their own liberation and self-determination, understanding that their liberation is bound with ours.

We stand against racism and white supremacy in all its forms, and we call for an end to the violence against - and oppression of - the Palestinian people as an extension of these values. We see the oppression of the Palestinian people as deeply linked to the ongoing, systemic oppression of Black and Brown people within our own communities in the US. And we see this violence as inextricably connected to the violence and hate directed toward our Black, Indigenous, Muslim, Arab, Asian/Pacific lslander, Latinx, Immigrant and Jewish neighbors.

The killing, silencing, intimidating and disempowering of any group of people is never a solution, and war and ongoing violence is never justice. In this moment, we choose to look to leaders who are working for peace, liberation, self-determination, healing, and cross-cultural understanding in their own communities.

Alongside our community, ioby will continue to work towards the world we want: a world where all our neighbors - down the block and around the world - can be free from fear, oppression, and violence. We invite you to join us in this work.
