11 Days Until Palestine Advocacy Days: The Work for Justice and Accountability Begins Now Dear Email, Yesterday, a “peace plan” was agreed on to end the war in Gaza. Like so many around the world, we cautiously welcome any step that brings an end to the relentless bombing of Gaza and relief to a people who have endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of the apartheid state. But one thing must be made clear: this “peace plan” is not justice, it’s merely the beginning. As it doesn’t address or resolve the root cause of the issue, which is a. Israel’s occupation of Palestine, b. the United States’ consistent support of Israel. Even if Israel keeps its end of the bargain, our work is far from over. Gaza’s reconstruction, the return of displaced families, accountability for war crimes, and the right of Palestinians to determine their own future all hang in the balance. True peace will only come when U.S. complicity ends, when our government stops arming, funding, and shielding apartheid, and when the Israeli state and its leaders are held fully accountable for two years of genocide and over 77 years of occupation, apartheid, and settler colonialism.  With Palestine Advocacy Days just 11 days away, this is our moment to keep the pressure on and ensure that no one mistakes a ceasefire for justice. We cannot allow our leaders to grow complacent while Gaza remains in ruins and Palestinians continue to live under apartheid and occupation. This is our time to show up in the halls of Congress, remind lawmakers that the world is still watching, and that their constituents demand real, lasting, and principled action. Join us in Washington, D.C., October 19–21. Together, we will continue to fight for issues like: - An end to U.S. complicity: no more weapons or military aid to the apartheid state.
- Accountability after genocide, because the suffering doesn’t end here; destruction, famine, displacement, and siege persist.
- No annexation of the West Bank and complete protection of Palestinian land and sovereignty.
- Justice for Americans killed, injured, or imprisoned by the Israeli government and U.S. accountability for enabling it.
- Protection of our First Amendment rights and an end to the repression of Palestine advocacy in the U.S.
- Restoration of funding to humanitarian organizations like UNRWA, which provide lifelines to millions of Palestinians.
Together, we’ll ensure that this moment of fragile hope turns into real, sustainable change rooted in justice, accountability, and freedom for all Palestinians. With determination and hope,
Americans for Justice in Palestine Action |
