[ID: two tweets. The first is by oc (@/jwlcstco) and reads: “At Northwestern’s encampment. This is why we will not leave.” Attached to the tweet is a photo of a large white sign that's propped against a tent. At the top of the sign red letters read: ‘They killed my family’. The names and ages of the killed family follow:
The second photo is a quote tweet to the original tweet by لارا (@/NormalArabGirl) that reads: “The young person whose poster this is has come to many protests since October and watching the names on her poster grow every time I see her is a punch in the gut. I cannot imagine the pain she must feel and yet on NU’s encampment I saw her actively leading things despite it all.” END ID]

[ID: two photos that show a young woman, Dima Elgha, holding her sign and the Palestine flag at a protest. We see the filled front side from the original tweet and also the back, revealing there's more members of her family that have been murdered. They, to my best ability to see, follow:
Ashraf Sharif Elagha — 18
Dima Elagha (center), 19, who said 121 members of her family have been killed in Gaza since Oct. 8, joins dozens of protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza at a rally at South Wood and West Taylor streets Thursday during First Lady Jill Biden’s visit to the University of Illinois Chicago’s campus. – Ashlee Rezin/Sun-Times (January 11, 2024)

“Israeli soldiers raided this shelter. They tied and blindfolded all the women and children, threw some of them outside, threw some of them in a corner. They beat my 12-year-old cousin and then they abducted all of the ‘men’ of military age” – Abdullah Elagha talking about his family that are being held hostage and that the Biden Administration still hasn't attempted to evaluate his family, via CBS News (February 10th, 2024)
“202-224-2152 is Senator Durbin's number—call him and demand the immediate and unconditional release of my cousins, two American citizens, Bork and Hashim Elagha, and their father and uncle, and the immediate evacuation of my family.” – Dima Elagha, via USPCN (February 10th, 2024)
Durbin's Email and Office Addresses. Fax number: (202) 228-0400 (according to Bureau County Farm Bureau). Calling him is better and what Dima is asking people to do but if you can't do that at least send an email, letter, or fax to his office.
