Our Mission
As part of a global movement for collective liberation, we work to end U.S. complicity in Israel's massive violence against the Palestinian people. We will keep fighting until we end all U.S. military funding to Israel and Palestine is free.
Our Vision
Freedom and justice for the Palestinian people in a world without racism and oppression.
USCPR Common Principles
USCPR holds these principles in our work and expects the same of organizations in our network:
- We support total liberation and the right of return for the Palestinian people, based on human rights, anti-colonialism, international law, self-determination, and relevant UN resolutions.|
- We oppose U.S. military, diplomatic, financial, corporate, and all other forms of backing for Israel’s military occupation and apartheid system toward the Palestinian people.
- We act in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle to achieve freedom from the Israeli military occupation, justice for Palestinian refugees through the implementation of their right of return, the end of Israel’s siege on Gaza, and the right to self-determination.
- We stand opposed to all forms of bigotry, including Zionism, racism, Islamophobia, antisemitism, sexism, queerphobia, transphobia, classism, and ableism. We stand against Zionism as a political system and racist ideology that privileges the rights of Israelis as superior to the rights of native Palestinian people. We also reject disingenuous smears of anti-Zionist activists used to silence criticism of Israel’s policies and practices.
- We support the collective liberation of all peoples. Our tax dollars should be funding care for our communities, like housing, healthcare, and climate justice, instead of systems of violence like police, prisons, militarism, and immigration detention.

OUR VALUES
Solidarity
Our work is impelled by a call for international solidarity and action by the Palestinian people; their voices are centered in our work and the demands of Palestinian civil society guide our priorities. The principle of solidarity also guides our relationships with other struggles for justice.
COLLECTIVE LIBERATION
We undertake our work for freedom and justice for the Palestinian people with the understanding that all forms of oppression are interconnected and that none can be fought in isolation.
ACCOUNTABILITY
We are dedicated to our mission and fulfilling it in a manner that is transparent, fulfills our commitments to our partners, and is grounded in the lived experiences of Palestinian and other marginalized communities.
LEADERSHIP
We lead by example, embodying our values, amplifying the work of our partners, and cultivating the leadership of people at the margins in the U.S.-based solidarity movement, to make the change we believe is possible.
INTEGRITY
We maintain an unwavering commitment to fulfilling our mission in an ethical and principled manner. We stand up for what is right even—and especially—when it’s not easy.
