Don’t let the year end without supporting our work! Dear Email, 2023 is coming to an end, and this year has brought immense pain and destruction to the people of Palestine. As a community, these past 12 weeks have been full of pain and despair. This period stands out as the deadliest for Palestinians in decades with a full-blown genocide taking place in Gaza and ethnic cleansing taking place in the West Bank. Adding to the distress, this period has brought about some of the worst repression against our students, professionals, and organizations here at home in years. It is in moments of darkness and despair like this that many lose hope. But here at AMP, these moments are when we redouble our efforts. We draw strength from the families in Gaza, who steadfastly refuse to be forced out of their land. We draw inspiration from our elders in Al Quds, who are unwavering in protecting our holy and historical sites. Additionally, we draw resilience from the people of the West Bank, who, despite an armed settler push to evict them from their homes, adamantly resist conceding to their oppressors. These are the people we cannot afford to let down, especially as the U.S. Government aids the crimes against them.  In these 12 weeks alone, AMP has led our community to take effective action through our protests taking place nationwide, our educational events happening every day in communities across the country, and our advocacy days and trainings that have contributed to our movement's overall success in centering our narrative in the halls of Congress. It is heartening to witness a growing wave of support for the Palestinian cause both within the United States and internationally.  2023 has made clear that we cannot afford to go back to the status quo. And in the coming year, we know that we must keep up the pressure to make our people heard. At AMP, we are committed to redoubling our efforts. However, for us to do that, we need your help. Not only must we halt the current atrocities being committed, but we must also ensure that they never happen again. We are $30,000 away from reaching our goal for the end of the year. Make a tax-deductible donation today to help us achieve that target and commit to working with us as we face a new year filled with its own challenges. |
