Update Palestine
From Palestine with hope & conviction
Our work in Palestine and abroad is fully contingent on the support of individuals — not larger donor institutions.

Dear friends,
Activists in Palestine came together against the restrictive NGO ecosystem, which has put donor requirements above the liberation of the Palestinian people. One of the core tenets of our collective is the rejection of large donors in order to protect the political trajectory and integrity of our work, protecting our engagement with local and international organizing. Instead, we've premised everything we've done on individual financial contributions from people who are deeply involved in the Palestinian cause. Everything we've done has resulted from individuals such as yourself willing to donate to the work on the ground in Palestine and our efforts abroad.

We are asking folks like you to contribute to the work by becoming a monthly donor, giving us the month-to-month finances to sustain and expand our work. For others who can't make a small monthly contribution, there is also the option to make a one-time donation. As we move into 2025, we're asking for your solidarity.
From Palestine with hope & conviction,
Cody
