A Call for Solidarity with Palestine and the World’s Oppressed

The International Day of Solidarity with Palestine comes at a time of intensified aggression by occupation forces and violence in the region. As conditions on the ground continue to deteriorate globally, the situation is amongst the worst facing Palestinians since 1948.

As a principle, solidarity with the world’s oppressed provides a guiding light of how to navigate in an increasingly hostile, complex and violent world. Every day in the corporate media – from Palestine to Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Burma, Ferguson and beyond, we are bombarded with images of mass violence and those spewing hate against poor people and people of color.

Let us create an alternative, inclusive vision that is in solidarity with indigenous peoples and sovereignty rights globally, that challenges settler colonial practices, and violations of civil rights and military occupation and militarization, including the criminalization, mass incarceration and all forms of oppression and terrorism.

To remain silent in the face of injustice and violence that any and all people are subjected to, is to side with the oppressor.

Come join us and stand against injustice, oppression, terrorism, Islamophobia, rascism and hate.
