Subject: Emergency Assistance, Shared Resistance is back

Dear Friend,


This summer, we're continuing Emergency Assistance, Shared Resistance - our annual campaign to support communities facing violence, displacement and injustice while strengthening Palestinian-Israeli nonviolent action. By providing rapid support when communities come under pressure and investing in the people leading grassroots change, the campaign brings together emergency response and peacebuilding in one shared effort.


Today, we're launching this year's campaign.


Over the next month, we hope to raise $75,000 to support four urgent initiatives that respond to immediate needs. Together, we will:

  • Support children and families displaced by home demolitions, military operations, and settler violence, ensuring they receive practical assistance and the support they need to rebuild their lives.

  • Rebuild greenhouses in Bardala, helping farming families restore livelihoods destroyed by military operations and settler violence, while strengthening the resilience of communities determined to remain on their land.

  • Strengthen joint Palestinian-Israeli women's grassroots action, investing in women led community organising, nonviolent action, and local peacebuilding initiatives.

  • Sustain the Palestinian and Israeli activists leading Combatants for Peace into its next twenty years of nonviolent struggle.

These initiatives provide immediate support to communities under increasing pressure while strengthening our movement to protect human rights, confront violence, and build a just peace.

Throughout the campaign, we'll take you behind the headlines. You'll meet the communities at the heart of this work, hear directly from the activists standing alongside them, and see how your support helps turn solidarity into action.


There are three ways you can be part of Emergency Assistance, Shared Resistance this summer.

  • Donate to help us reach our $75,000 goal and ensure that communities facing violence and displacement receive the support they need.

  • Share the campaign with your family, friends and networks. Every new person who hears these stories helps strengthen the movement for peace and human rights.

  • Become a Campaign Ambassador. Help us spread the word throughout the summer by sharing campaign updates, inviting others to donate, and encouraging your community to stand with Palestinian and Israeli activists working together for justice, equality and nonviolence (Learn more).

As part of the campaign, join Palestinian and Israeli activists for an online conversation, Resisting Displacement: Nonviolent Tools Against Growing Violence in the West Bank. Hear directly from those working on the ground as they discuss the growing pressures facing communities across the West Bank, the role of nonviolence in resisting displacement, the impact of recent international sanctions, and what these developments mean for Palestinian-Israeli joint work.

The stories you'll hear over the next month are unlikely to lead the news. They are the quieter stories of communities refusing to give up, of Palestinians and Israelis choosing to act together, and of the everyday work of protecting human rights. This summer, we invite you to be part of those stories.


In peace and solidarity,
