For a Free Palestine
It is understandable we feel helpless when the primary powers that exist uphold values that harm other people. It can feel daunting trying to fight such power. While that will always remain true, there are still actions we can take that may help tilt the end result in our favor. Individually each action may seem too insignificant, but together we too are powerful. Listed below are some actions one can take to help advocate for a Free Palestine, and in doing so... a Free World. The actions listed below are organized by the estimated time it would take *me* to perform each activity, this will vary per person. When you click on each activity image you will find more details. Details are organized by what can be done "from the bed" and what can be done "from the streets".
