The Peoples Weekly February 15th, 2019
Talking about current events and news of the week.
1) The U.S. has for a long time adopted an official policy of giving full support to the fascist state of Israel (occupied Palestine.) This seems to be getting more blatant in the last two years, there are bills being introduced that make it mandatory to pledge allegiance to Israel in order to maintain certain jobs, and support for a free Palestine is becoming viewed more and more as "anti semetic."

2) National Congress of the American Indians (NCAI) is the oldest and largest organization serving Native people in the U.S. Every year NCAI host their Executive Council Winter Session in DC. This is an opportunity for Indigenous leaders to gather and catch up on various issues and to consult with the U.S. government across party lines.
