Low quality sources[edit]
Nearly this whole article is sourced to newsmedia sources and, of those, the largest grouping is Israeli news sources. I'm rather concerned to see Wikipedia being used to launder the opinions of these publications as if they were facts. I'm honestly wondering whether this group is even notable in a context outside of being a bogeyman for 2024 propaganda. Simonm223 (talk) 12:58, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Within Our Lifetime is a pretty huge organization in New York City, at least on the level of Act Up NY in the 90s. They've also faced objectively brutal state repression. Like, NYPD keeps flying literal helicopters over their protests As a New Yorker who once attended a WOL protest and found it to be extremely peaceful (but has no ties to the organization otherwise), I too am troubled by the number of Israeli and conservative news sources here (including the New York Times which has shown bias against anti-Zionist orgs in the city).

lead improvement needed[edit]
The lead here is barren, and almost oversummarizes - it just goes over the group's founding, claimed ideology, and a police crackdown against them. Never mentioned in the lead is their activity in any level of specificity or detail - such as their "flood (x location)" protests, or their statements (especially pro-Hamas or pro-attack ones) and ensuing controversy that differentiate them from other groups.
