John,

As Gaza becomes hell on Earth, people protesting the genocide have been snatched off the streets, locked up, and even branded terrorists. 

Over 100 pro-Palestine activists in the UK have just been arrested for peacefully protesting Israel’s war crimes, while Trump tries to deport students who dare to speak out against the genocide.

It’s a clear attempt to criminalise dissent and silence solidarity with Palestine. But we can help shield brave activists and students everywhere from this terrifying global crackdown.

Together, we could create an emergency people-powered legal fund for anyone who is targeted for speaking out against atrocities in Gaza, while continuing to fight against these policies – and show every activist risking everything that we won't let them face this alone.

Right now, Palestinians need every single one of our voices loudly demanding an end to the genocide. Will you chip in to defend activists risking their freedom and fuel all our work to stop the horrors in Gaza?

Israel’s war crimes keep piling up. The merciless killings of starving Palestinians desperately seeking food has become an almost daily occurrence and the world is watching in real-time as babies are starved to death.

But instead of Israel’s government facing consequences, it’s the people who dare to oppose these atrocities who are being made to pay a heavy price. In both the UK and France, Palestine solidarity groups are on the verge of being banned altogether. 

This upside-down justice is terrifying. But with a global community like ours ready to unite with activists around the world, we know that we can keep the fight for peace in Gaza going strong. 

We CANNOT let them silence us with fear. 

That’s why we’re urgently launching a legal defense fund to support activists facing retaliation, from the US to Europe, as well as powerful campaigns that expose and challenge the governments and corporations enabling Israel’s assault on Gaza.

Now is the time to defend the right to protest, and the right to speak out against crimes against humanity. Together we can show the world that when you speak out against injustice, you’re not alone. But we can't do it without your help.

Can you chip in whatever you can to power this legal fund and fuel our global fight for justice?

Thanks for all that you do,
