 Dear Supporter,
As salaamu ‘Alaikum and Ramadan Mubarak,
I wanted to share with you today a crucial aspect of AMP’s work. I was hired as AMP’s Media Coordinator in January, and, as part of an outstanding and driven team, we’ve hit the ground running. As an organization, our work and capacity has grown so much in the past year, and we saw the need to emphasize our media work. Make a zakat-eligible donation today to help support our media efforts! In my time with AMP, we’ve revved up our media outreach to underline and amplify our new and exciting education and advocacy campaigns. I’ve worked with staff to publish numerous articles and analyses to share our team’s expertise on topics like Biden’s Palestine policy(1) and Israel’s resistance to the ICC(2). We’ve written on special occasions in creative ways, for example, promoting the boycott of Israeli settlement profiteer Pillsbury in a Valentine’s Day-themed article(3), and writing on Palestine’s reverence in Islam(4) for the holy night of Al-Isra wal Mi’raj.
Our congressional advocacy has made national news -- I was featured on MeansTV(5) to speak about Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s letter to the Secretary of State condemning Israel’s illegal settlements and home demolitions (for which AMP mobilized support). Our former Advocacy Director, Raed Jarrar, was also recently quoted in the breaking Intercept piece(6) that covered Rep. Betty McCollum’s historic legislation that called for the protection of Palestinian human rights.
We know that Palestinians have been systematically dehumanized in US media. To change this dynamic takes writing and speaking out. And AMP is dedicated to doing this work. Help keep us going. Our work wouldn’t be possible without your support. Pitch in to support AMP’s efforts to break into the mainstream media and present the position of Palestine to US audiences. Sincerely,
Malak Shalabi
AMP Media Coordinator
