You can review your dues payments by signing in to the RSA website and going to Membership Info under the My Profile tab. It indicates the date through which your membership is current and you will see a list of all dues payments. If you are still unsure about your eligibility after checking your membership payments in your RSA profile, please contact [email protected].

Defying the Israeli ban on filming Gaza from above, Bowen instead describes the carnage & genocide he can see:

“I can tell you that communities in the north of Gaza that I knew well…with tens of thousands of people…are flat. There’s nothing left of them.”

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency.

They are out of energy and they are starving to death.
