The Good Shepherd Collective has been working on a new data resource center over the last few months. We understand that data analysis is crucial for advocacy because it advances evidence-based arguments to influence policy. By analyzing data, advocates and activists can identify trends and patterns to combat Israeli propaganda. This approach enables targeted, effective advocacy, highlighting critical issues and informing solutions. We will be adding data on home demolitions, political prison data, financial data from the US non- profits funding settler-colonialism and other data sets as our time and resources allow.
