Resources in Support of Palestine, list in progress
-Queers in Palestine
“We queer Palestinians have a vibrant, diverse liberation movement that is part of the Palestinian anti-colonial movement. For decades, we have been tirelessly working on carving up and maintaining a space for Palestinian queer life amongst our communities and not despite them.”
-This is Palestine
“This Is Palestine' is a podcast that highlights people, issues, and events around Palestine. We bring you stories from the ground in Palestine, and we speak with experts and activists to bring you unique perspectives and analysis about Palestine from across the world. This podcast is a project of the Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU).”
-Adalah Justice Project
“Adalah Justice Project is a Palestinian-led advocacy organization based in the U.S. that builds cross-movement coalitions to achieve collective liberation. Our work is rooted in the conviction that drawing the linkages between US policy abroad and repressive state practices at home is crucial to shifting the balance of power.”
-Jewish Voice for Peace
“We envision a world where all people — from the U.S. to Palestine — live in freedom, justice, equality, and dignity.”
“Like generations of Jewish leftists before us, we fight for the liberation of all people. We believe that through organizing, we can and will dismantle the institutions and structures that sustain injustice and grow something new, joyful, beautiful, and life-sustaining in their place…”
-US CAMPAIGN FOR PALESTINIAN RIGHTS
“USCPR is a political home for all who believe that freedom for the Palestinian people is an integral part of achieving our collective liberation. We provide resources and strategic support to the U.S.-based Palestine solidarity movement, channeling grassroots power into positive change in U.S. policy and public opinion. We work with local organizers and activists, policymakers, movement leaders, media, and advocacy organizations to advance a rights-based, accountability and justice-oriented framework from the U.S. to Palestine.”

ALLIES
-Queer|Art Stands with Palestine
"Queer|Art was founded in response to the politicized mass death of a generation of LGBTQ+ artists living with AIDS. Over the last 40 years, the US government has neglected to meaningfully respond to the AIDS epidemic in the US. At every step, artists have fought back — in the 80s and 90s forming collectives like Gran Fury, General Idea, Fierce Pussy, and DIVA TV."
-The Poetry Project
“In total solidarity with the people of Palestine, who have suffered under the genocidal violence of the Western imperial and Zionist powers for more than a century; and in recognition of their right — under law and morality — as an occupied people to resist their oppressors…”
-Dar Jacir
"Dar Yusuf Nasri Jacir for Art and Research is a grass-roots independent artist–run initiative founded in 2014 and is located in our 19th century family home in Bethlehem. Originally built in the late 1880's by al Mukhtar Yusuf Jacir, the site serves as a place in which the history and contemporary conditions of Bethlehem meet, enabling the exchange and production of new art works and visions towards the future."
-Afterall
"Afterall is a Research Centre of University of the Arts London, located at Central Saint Martins. We focus our research activities on the value of contemporary art and its relation to wider society. The research centre works with partners across five continents to deepen this enquiry and make it available through publications, digital access, conferences, screenings and talks."
