US Campaign for Palestinian Rights

This week, Trump and Netanyahu discussed Israel’s genocidal plan to build a concentration camp city in Rafah, southern Gaza.⁠ ⁠ Only Palestinian people in Gaza should determine their future—not war criminals pretending they can negotiate their fate from the White House.

Anyone who believes that Palestinians will leave Gaza doesn’t understand the relationship that Indigenous people have with their native homeland. Reject Zionism Reject US imperialism & colonization Reject white supremacy Palestine is not for sale.

Today marks one year since Israel began its current ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people, and it marks one year of resistance to stop the genocide. We must rise up against Israel’s violence and the U.S. government’s active participation in genocide Take action now with our newly updated toolkit: uscpr.org/stopgazagenocide

78 years ago, over 750,000 native Palestinians were forced out of their homes and land by Israeli militias.⁠ ⁠ 78 years of Israel’s violent colonialism and land theft.⁠ 78 years of U.S. complicity and funding.⁠ 78 years of ongoing occupation, displacement, and genocide that have impacted generations of Palestinians.⁠ 78 years of the steadfast Palestinian struggle for liberation.

Join us this Sun 5/17 in solidarity with @amazonwatch @bds.movement @uscpr and our West Coast Boycott Chevron coalition for Anti-Chevron actions this month, starting May 17 and continuing through the day of Chevron’s annual shareholder meeting on May 28. At Chevron’s upcoming 2026 annual shareholder meeting, shareholders will vote on a proposal calling on the company to evaluate whether its due diligence processes are sufficient to prevent complicity in violations of international law arising from its operations in high risk regions, including its role in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians. This is a crucial time for us to mobilize. We know that Chevron is feeling the heat. Anti-Chevron Day has been organized by Amazon Watch since 2014. It is a global day of action protesting Chevron’s past and ongoing climate destruction and violations of human rights globally, especially in the Amazon basin in Latin America. In solidarity with the BDS movement’s call to boycott Chevron for its complicity in Israel’s genocide and apartheid, Amazon Watch and allies have integrated the Palestinian-led Boycott Chevron campaign into the Anti-Chevron Day tradition. #boycottchevron #freepalesti̇ne

🚨 The residents of Al-Bustan in Silwan are facing an impossible choice: demolish their own homes or face a $30,000 fine and forced eviction by the municipality. Over 1,000 Palestinians live in this neighborhood, now threatened with total displacement to make way for a tourist park. With 50 homes already under imminent demolition orders, the clock is ticking. Watch the full story on why this community is fighting to stay.

WATCH: Since 2008, we have been trying to break Israel’s illegal blockade of Palestinians in Gaza. Human rights attorney, former chairperson of the Free Gaza Movement since 2008, and current member of the Freedom Flotilla organizing committee, @huwaida.arraf , tells us how the movement was born and walks us through the history of the flotilla missions up to 2024. The Freedom Flotilla is a grassroots people-to-people solidarity movement made up of campaigns and initiatives from across the world, working together to challenge Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza and affirm the rights and freedom of the Palestinian people. In 2008, two small fishing boats successfully reached the port of Gaza, becoming the first boats in more than 40 years to arrive without Israeli permission. Four additional missions reached Gaza before the 2010 attack on the Mavi Marmara, when the Israeli military raided the flotilla in international waters, killing 10 volunteers, injuring dozens more, and imprisoning hundreds of human rights defenders. Despite attacks, sabotage, arrests, and repression, flotilla missions have continued because Palestinians in Gaza are still living under blockade and international solidarity does not end when governments fail to act. From the Mavi Marmara to the Women’s Boat to Gaza, from Gaza’s Ark to Al Awda, volunteers across generations and continents have continued to sail in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Please continue supporting our volunteer efforts through our campaign initiatives via the link in our bio. We will keep organizing, sailing, and resisting until the blockade is ended and Palestine is free. #BreakTheBlockade #FreePalestine #FreedomFlotilla #MaviMarmara #EndTheBlockade WeWillSail Gaza

“We hope to demonstrate to the world that civilians with a conscience will not remain silent in the face of genocide.” The @gazafreedomflotilla keeps sailing to break the siege and deliver life-saving humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza. Listen to Helen as she makes the journey to Gaza.

The Israeli regime systematically targets and kills Palestinian journalists. It’s part of Israel’s policy to silence anyone who resists or exposes Israeli violence; over 260 Palestinian journalists have been killed by the Israeli military since the start of this genocide. All while the U.S. has actively funded their murders with billions of dollars in weapons to Israel every year.⁠ ⁠ "Justice for Shireen is justice for all" - @shireenabuaklehfoundation

Over 2,000 people in Silwan are being pushed from their homes right now. This could be the largest expulsion of Palestinians in Jerusalem since 1967. Zuheir Rajabi’s father was killed by tear gas fired into their home. His children have been beaten and arrested. Zuheir himself has been beaten multiple times, including for simply installing cameras to monitor the violence brought by settlers to his community. Now, Zuheir and his entire extended family face imminent eviction so their home can be given to settlers. 80+ people have already been expelled since March. 60 more families are next. This is the reality of ethnic cleansing from Gaza to the West Bank. Share this story. Stand with Silwan.
