John,
Over 500 people were arrested over the weekend for peacefully supporting
Palestine activists and protesting the genocide in Gaza. It's a chilling
crackdown on the right to protest – but we won't let brave activists face
this alone. Can you chip in to power an emergency legal fund?

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?
