Nearly 600 ASA members endorsed a principled ceasefire resolution. It will soon come up for a membership vote. Help us build support for the resolution and demand that ASA include the point on financial disclosure and military investments. Ceasefire now! Sociologists for Palestine

Went on Democracy Now! to beg people to see immigrant workers—like our fallen brothers who were working on the Key Bridge—as human beings. We are not your enemy. I'm sorry I can't respond to everyone's messages rn. Very tired & heart is very frayed. But we'll keep reporting ❤️✊🏽

The ASA membership has spoken! The Sociologists for Palestine “Resolution for Justice in Palestine" has passed and become the association's "official position." Nearly 60% of those that voted did so in favor. Grateful for all the colleagues and comrades that made this victory possible!
