Do Not Let This Night Pass Without Standing For Justice Dear Email, On the Night of Power over 1,400 years ago, the Divine command was given: “Iqra”—Read. One word that ignited a mission of mercy, justice, and liberation. One word that changed the course of history, but it came with a price in order for it to prevail. The Prophet ﷺ and his companions carried this mission with their hearts, their words, and their sacrifices. They faced exile and persecution—but they never gave up. Because they believed, and acted on their belief. Tonight may be that same blessed night—Laylat al-Qadr—the night that is better than a thousand months. A night where sincere acts of devotion are multiplied beyond comprehension. A night where your du’a, your prayer, your sacrifice, echoes across the heavens. But for the second Ramadan in a row, the people of Palestine are commemorating this sacred night under siege and in genocide. In Gaza, our brothers and sisters are fasting through famine. Over 1.7 million people have been displaced. In just one week this Ramadan, more than 700 have been killed. In the West Bank, families are being uprooted, homes demolished, and lives shattered. Masjid al-Aqsa—our holy sanctuary—is under siege. And here in the U.S., students who dared to speak out against these atrocities are being abducted off the streets. Throughout these trials, the resilience of the Palestinian people has been unwavering. Their refusal to surrender in the face of despair inspires our work at AMP. Their courage fuels our determination not to lose hope—and to continue fighting for their rights and dignity. AMP has worked tirelessly every single day to rally support and ensure the voices of Gaza are heard and acted upon. From leading impactful advocacy that brought thousands into the halls of power in Washington, D.C., to organizing massive demonstrations across the country—our commitment has never wavered. But we need your help. On this 27th night of Ramadan, I urge you to recommit to this cause. Renew your intention. And join us as we fight to end this genocide. Let this be the night we rise for Gaza. The night we say: We did not turn away... |
