Global Days of Action for Palestine

As Israel continues to ethnically cleanse Palestinian people from Al-Naqab, Beita, Sheikh Jarrah, and all around Palestine, the Palestinian people remain steadfast in their fight for freedom.

During the last weekend in January, the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights answered Palestinian calls for freedom as we amplified actions all over the world, from Mexico City, Mexico to Osaka, Japan, in solidarity with the Palestinian people. See the actions that happened, and keep protesting until Palestine is free.

Before Congress votes, take action: No to the Normalizing Israeli Ethnic Cleansing Act (H.R. 2748)

During a time when we should be demanding accountability ASAP to stop Israel’s crimes, Congress is promoting Trump-era weapons deals, which give authoritarian regimes weapons in exchange for political support for Israeli violence against the Palestinian people. Tell your members of Congress to vote NO on the Normalizing Israeli Ethnic Cleansing Act.
