A staggering 89 whole families have been wiped out. Additionally, five Israeli civilians, including one child, and 64 soldiers have died since Israel’s massive military assault on the Gaza Strip began. One third of Gaza’s 1.8 million residents are left homeless; Israel destroyed at least 17,000 homes. Continue reading No More Deaths’s Gaza solidarity aims to end US border militarization
Take action: Support Rosa Robles in sanctuary in Tucson
Dear No More Deaths supporters,
Three months ago we came to you and asked for your support to stop the pending deportation of Daniel Neyoy Ruiz. Thanks to you, Daniel is 
at home with his family in Tucson, Arizona.
Just last week another community member, Rosa Robles Loreto, took sanctuary at Southside Presbyterian Church so that she could stay with her family rather than be deported. I hope that you will read Rosa’s message, learn more about her and her family, and then take action to keep her family together.
In solidarity,
Sarah Launius, No More Deaths volunteer
