Dear Friends & Supporters,
Ramadan Mubarak to those who observe! Today we are launching the Campaign for Liberation and Dignity.
We are calling on you to uphold your duty to our Palestinian people who persevere through these dire times, and to safeguard their dignity.
1. Donate (bit.ly/donatetodignity)! We have included a text prompt in both Arabic and English that you can personalize to send to your circles. Please do your part! Our people demand dignity! 100% OF FUNDS RAISED GO DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE.
2. SPREAD THE WORD LOCALLY! Download these posters in Arabic and English and post at local businesses and community spaces. Or you can download these posters and print them as fliers to pass out at socially distanced community events. Take a picture/selfie as you post around the community, and send to liberationanddignity@uspcn.org to be included in our social media.
This same link also provides an easy prompt to text or email your friends in Arabic and English so they can donate.
3. ADVOCATE! Visit this link to get updates on our advocacy work, as we are official members of the Invest in Justice Coalition.
4. EDUCATE! Visit our social media and reshare these posts now and please tag your friends!
Tag your friends to these posts to get awareness and sharing going!
We will be posting TONS of educational material based on our research, community events, and conversations with folks on the ground, who remain central to what we do.

THIS IS URGENT:
- Aid has been cut by the U.S., the UAE, and other normalizing entities, bringing major challenges and desperation to our Palestinian people.
- Refugees are further marginalized, not only in vaccine access, but in accessing all basic needs.
- Biden is beginning to again provide conditional aid to preserve the U.S. and Israeli political agenda.
- The pandemic brought more economic hardship to our people, and poverty has skyrocketed.
We cannot sit silently or passively. It is time to revive an element of our organizing: Funding the Endurance of Our People who yearn for the end of Israeli occupation and colonization, the Right to Return, and liberation From the River to the Sea.
We firmly believe that we cannot wait for legislative change while our Palestinian people struggle under occupation and colonization. All funds go directly to the people to provide locally sourced, nutritional goods for families. This is an investment in local economies, not a charitable giving campaign.
The Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA) is partnering with us to supply food to our people in the camps of Gaza and Lebanon, while we continue to advocate for health resources and vaccines. MECA is not taking any percentage of your donations for its administration of the fund. 100% OF FUNDS RAISED GO TO THE PEOPLE.

Until Liberation & Return,
Kareem Youssef,
