WHAT TO DO:
Protest protest protest.
Boycott Israeli produce.
Boycott all companies with premises in the occupied territories, all companies that support the IDF, all companies with ties to Israel.
Cancel subscriptions with complicit companies. Be LOUD as you sever ties with these businesses – tell them why you’re doing it, tell social media why you’re doing it, loudly support other people who do it.
Call your representatives.
Donate.
Fundraise.
Keep educating yourself – read books, follow accounts, become a total Palestine nerd.
Thank Palestinians for their emotional labour and willingness to share. Listen, make notes, listen some more.
Support Palestinian businesses.
Share Palestinian voices.
Check on your Arab, Muslim and Palestinian friends and colleagues – it is not too late to tell them you care and you’ve been thinking of them if you haven’t done so yet.
Support advocacy groups.
Become a paying member of Palestine Solidary Campaign.
Donate to Doubledown News, Novara Media, Democracy Now, Electronic Intifada, or any other media org that are telling the truth about Palestine and platforming Palestinians.
Tell others about your concerns and activism.
Watch Palestinian films and documentaries.
Call out biased reporting and racism.
Flag hate speech and genocidal language on all social media platforms. Support all public figures who use their position to help Palestine.
Withhold your support and money from all public figures who stay silent. Ask any groups, societies, congregations and institutions you’re a part of to make a public statement of solidarity.
Offer up any skills you have for free to Palestinian organisations and advocacy groups.
Donate an e-sim to keep Gaza connected (learn all about it by visiting @mirna_elhelbawi on Instagram)
Visit @operationolivebranch on Instagram to find family fundraisers to help families in Gaza.
