Palestine – Ways you can help

‘Palestine is a moral litmus test for the world’
– Angela Davis citing the late poet June Jordan

LADA is appalled by the ongoing genocide and massacre of civilians in Gaza, half of whom are children, and joins the voices calling for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the siege. We mourn all lost lives brutally taken, Israeli and Palestinians. We stand in unequivocal solidarity with Palestine’s struggle against settler colonialism and racial apartheid, and strongly condemn its collective punishment. We show zero tolerance to antisemitism and to the rhetoric of the collective responsibility of Jewish people, which we find extremely dangerous.

We have made a list of petitions, open letters, organisations calling for donations, ways to get involved, and upcoming London-based events that we hope you’ll find useful. We kindly ask you to consider contributing in any way you think would help. 

We are also offering our space at the Garrett Centre in Bethnal Green to individuals and initiatives that would like to use it for relevant events and/or meetings; please email us if this is the case.
