Recently, in southern Gaza, hundreds of Palestinians attended a mass wedding for 54 couples. These photos, taken amidst the rubble, are both beautiful and joyful. Organizers called it an act of defiance against Israel’s campaign of genocide. “It is a message for the killers and criminals ... that our Palestinian people embrace life, cling to life and love life.”
In that spirit of love and resistance, the Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine offers its own resistance: bi-weekly briefs, calls to demonstrations and standouts, and a website that has been visited by 8,600 people in the past year. Our three minute video, produced in collaboration with Palestinian videographers, has been viewed by over 1,400 people. Four of our members participated in the People’s Hunger Strike for Gaza; one of them wrote about why she was participating for Common Dreams, ensuring that literally millions of people read it.
The Alliance is often called on not just to sponsor an event, but to participate as a driving force in organizing. We work in coalitions and campaigns to expose U.S. complicity in Israel’s war crimes.
In the coming year, we intend to amplify our voice by using mobile billboards at large public gatherings and placing yard signs on busy streets. We will continue collaborating with our Palestinian partners to create 30 second videos highlighting aspects of water injustice to be easily distributed on social media.
This work, this resistance, this love will be sustained by your donation.
We rely on your continuing support.
We have so much more work to do together.
