Dear Friend,

I am writing you as 2023 comes to a close with an urgent appeal to help the U.S.-based movement in solidarity with the Palestinian people continue to grow in the coming weeks and months.

Our movement has rapidly expanded in the last two and a half months. The ANSWER Coalition was one of the anchoring organization for the largest-ever demonstration in the United States in support of Palestine on November 4, 2023. Every week before and after that historic outpouring, we have been in the streets demanding a ceasefire and an end to apartheid and occupation.

The war crimes committed by the Israeli government against the people of Gaza are unmatched in the 21st century. These crimes, which are continuing by the hour, could not go on without the backing of a government that speaks in the name of the people of this country. Millions of people are enraged by the actions of the Biden administration. As we act, in record numbers, we are making it crystal clear that the government cannot speak in our name. 

Nothing is more important than to help this new movement grow into an irresistible force. As happened with the racist apartheid regime in South Africa in the 1980s, the grassroots global movement can be decisive.

In the coming weeks, the ANSWER Coalition will be marching alongside hundreds of organizations and millions of people demanding an end to apartheid and occupation, demanding that the U.S. government end all aid to the Israeli regime. These actions are getting bigger and broader as millions of people come into this movement for the first time.

Thank you for your continued support. We are appealing to everyone to make an urgently needed tax-deductible donation to support this work. We have hundreds of volunteers and organizers working around the clock, but we can’t succeed without funds and financial support.

Thank you again. I wish you and your family the best during this troubled holiday season.

Let us work together to help make a Free Palestine a reality!

Brian Becker
ANSWER Coalition, Executive Director
