Solidarity is a verb: Support Palestinian resources on the ground

Now more than ever, it’s important to support Palestinians’ efforts to save lives and offer communal care.

Millions of people around the world are demanding an end to genocide and calling for true safety for Palestinians, which starts with the bare minimum of a ceasefire and U.S. weapons embargo. We see people doing all that they can, from solidarity protests to contributions to international aid organizations. There are many ways to be in solidarity with Palestinians in this critical moment.

The outpouring of love and support from individuals is historic. But when it comes to donating, many are unsure of the best way to make an impact. We believe that what is most needed now is direct support for Palestinian grassroots organizations and initiatives that are deeply rooted in the community and know how best to support it.

Supporting grassroots groups not only provides community-based emergency relief on the ground, but also contributes to preserving the basic civil society infrastructure and the broader, long-term transformation and community resilience necessary for lasting change.
