Bill Perkins was a moral center for Harlem , for NYC , for NYS, for the US. I know if he were alive today he’d be fighting through the darkness of this moment to help spark a more just world 🕊️

I want to do a little breakdown of this investigation I published today for @prismreports.org about gender-based violence in the H-2A agricultural visa program.

She managed to get a farmworker visa. Once in the U.S., she endured abuse.

A Prism investigation reveals that women are routinely shut out of the H-2A program. Those who get in report doing non-agricultural labor and facing sexual violence and trafficking

Today marks *1 year* since Israeli forces killed 26-year-old American Ayşenur Eygi.

Her family has heard nothing from Biden & Trump admins, and Israel.

State Dept. told us it has “no higher priority” than US citizens — but then referred us to Israel for info on Israel’s killing of the US citizen.

First Biden, Now Trump: US Has Done 'Nothing' to Hold Israel Accountable for Killing of Young American

Ayşenur Eygi’s family is still fighting for justice one year after an Israeli soldier killed the 26-year-old peace activist in the occupied West Bank.
