Hello Friends, as some of you might know we have recently faced multiple attacks, smearing and false claims from individuals and bots online. Some of these seem to be linked to a court case with a journalist we reported about in 2021. While her case is ongoing in Oregon court, our organization and past associates have also been dragged in. Firstly, we are just so sorry to everyone who is being unnecessarily tagged on our behalf, including journalist @Aliceinalbania who has no link to CFWIJ. Alice has not been with us for a long time. We recognize that this tagging is simply a form of harassment widely used by trolls to distract and intimidate organizations and individuals. We must mention in the strictest terms, we do not condone violence or anyone else who does. We would urge those harassing us and our associates, present or past to reconsider their actions and focus their energies to make the world a better, more tolerant and accommodating place for all human beings. This time reminds us of the difficult terrain that is social justice work. In a divided world, we should focus on coming together. The best way to honor our own humanity is to honor the humanity of each other. With that, we send peace, prayers and love to everyone.
