Ruth Serrato remembers the night her shop burned. Protests over the police shooting of a Black resident, Jacob Blake, on Aug. 23 had given way to confrontation and violence in Kenosha, Wisconsin. When rioters attacked the little business district where Ms. Serrato’s father had opened an ice cream shop, she watched from home through security cameras as the smoke and flames destroyed it.
“I only cried,” says Ms. Serrato. “I couldn’t believe it.”
Today the shop – called El Buen Gusto, or The Good Taste – has reopened in a new location, thanks to help from community organizations.

Palestinians are making their voices heard in Israel, the Palestinian territories, and across the world, using tech platforms to both amplify their political cause and connect communities fragmented by partition and occupation. They say their struggle for rights is starting to gain momentum and that they aren’t willing to wait for the international community to act.
In Gaza, Friday’s cease-fire between Hamas and Israel appears to be holding. But Israeli-Palestinian tensions in Jerusalem continued, including violence and arrests Sunday at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. These incidents, and disputes over the eviction of Palestinian families in East Jerusalem, are all being documented by tech-savvy activists. They draw parallels between their struggle and the Black Lives Matter movement.
