No amount of repression will stop the growing movement for Palestinian liberation Dear Email, This year, we made history together! Over 600 advocates from across the country, from New York all the way to Hawai’i, gathered in Washington, D.C. for the largest coordinated advocacy effort for Palestine in U.S. history, a powerful demonstration of what people power looks like when guided by truth, conviction, and unwavering solidarity. And we did it during a government shutdown, while facing relentless attacks from Zionists and far-right extremists who tried to silence, smear, and intimidate us for daring to demand justice. But we refused to be intimidated. We demonstrated that our movement cannot be shaken. Not by smear campaigns, not by fear, and not by a political establishment that continues to fund genocide while ignoring its own citizens. Instead, we filled the halls of Congress with courage, discipline, and moral clarity. Our delegation held more than 200 meetings with both Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate, an unprecedented show of organized, grassroots pressure in defense of Palestinian human rights. Together, we urged members of Congress to: - End U.S. military aid to Israel, including offensive aid through the Block the Bombs Act (H.R. 3565);
- Oppose displacement and annexation, and sanction extremist settlers committing violence with impunity;
- Reinstate humanitarian assistance to UNRWA;
- Defend the free speech rights of Americans advocating for Palestinian freedom;
- Hold Israel accountable for killing and kidnapping Palestinian-Americans, like 16-year-old Mohamed Ibrahim, who the apartheid state has unjustly detained since February 2025.
Our collective advocacy sends an undeniable message: we will not back down. No amount of repression, fear-mongering, or political posturing will stop this growing movement for Palestinian liberation. The movement for Palestinian rights is no longer in the minority; it now represents the American majority, as confirmed by consistent and credible public opinion polls. Just as we refuse to be a silent majority, we will never accept violations of our constitutional rights or attempts to silence us through defamation. This week was not the culmination of our movement; it was another beginning. The struggle for Palestinian freedom continues, and what we built together in Washington must ripple outward into every state, every district, and every community. Every call, every meeting, every act of civic resistance pushes us closer to a future rooted in justice, freedom, and equality for all. Thank you for standing fearlessly for Palestine, for showing up when it matters most, and for proving once again that our movement cannot and will not be silenced. We urge every single one of you to continue the vital work of advancing justice in Palestine and to demand accountability for all those complicit in the genocidal war on Gaza. As Americans, we reject every attempt to intimidate us or suppress our constitutional rights. We call on you to stand with us—support our efforts, amplify our voices, and join this historic movement to liberate Palestine and to free the United States from the grip of foreign lobbies that place their agendas above the will and welfare of the American people. |
