USCPR Common Principles

All members of the coalition hold these principles in common:

• We support a just and lasting peace for Palestinians and Israelis based on human rights, international law, equality, and relevant UN resolutions.
• We oppose US military, diplomatic, financial, corporate, and all other forms of support for Israel’s occupation and apartheid policies toward Palestinians.
• We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle to achieve freedom from Israeli military occupation, justice for refugees through the implementation of their right of return, full equality for Palestinian citizens of Israel, and the right to self-determination.
• We stand opposed to Islamophobia, antisemitism, all forms of racism, and any other expressions of bigotry directed at any person or group. We also reject the charge of antisemitism when it is used spuriously to silence legitimate criticism of Israel’s policies and practices.

USCPR Anti-Racism Principles

Our coalition stands opposed to all forms of racism and any other expressions of bigotry directed at any person or group.

We stand against Zionism as a political system that privileges the rights of Jews over the rights of others. We also reject the charge of antisemitism when it is used spuriously to silence legitimate criticism of Israel’s policies and practices.

As the USCPR coalition works to end actions and transform oppressive structures that sustain injustice in Palestine/Israel, we must also ensure that our actions and the actions of those within our organization and coalition do not serve to support or perpetuate other racist or bigoted behaviors, practices, and structures.
