Last week, one of our larger funders told us that they would no longer support our work, due to our outspoken position on Gaza.

For some organisations, getting such a message would mean only one thing – they would be forced to back down, and stay quiet on one of the greatest injustices taking place in the world today. But we’re proud of what we’ve done to challenge the crimes being committed in Gaza and our own government’s complicity in it. So our only option, if we don’t want this loss of funding to affect our work, is to find more people like you who believe in what we’re doing and who are willing to help fill the shortfall.

With the help of supporters like you, we have already helped to commission new legal work on arms sales, brought media and political attention to this issue and organised two teach-ins for activists. More than 20,000 people have joined our call for the UK to end arms sales to Israel, demonstrating the powerful public support behind our efforts.

News reports suggest the UK government is moving closer to banning some arms to Israel. And now we’re challenging the government’s policy – announced just this week – of building closer trade ties with Israel. We need to push them to end complicity in Israel's war crimes once and for all. Few other organisations would have been able to develop this work so rapidly. But to remain nimble, outspoken, and effective, we need you.

It is easy to feel powerless when we witness the daily horrors inflicted on the people of Gaza. But there is a powerful, growing movement of people determined to end this. Thank you for considering membership with Global Justice Now.
