global strike for palestine
12/11/2023 a global call to action has been made to engage in solidarity with the people of Palestine. In concert with communities around the world who are on global strike for Palestine, we at Calamansi Counseling will not be responding to e-mails or engaging in business today. Our practice is anchored in our commitment to social justice and we will not in good conscience continue business as usual today 12/11/2023, in a collective effort to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
To learn more about occupied Palestine you can visit The Palestine Academy website or can find them on Instagram. You can also visit the Instagram page of Calamansi Counseling which provides opportunities for microlearning or catch up on our blog.
