Protecting the dignity of our community through advocacy, education, and community building:
OUR VISION
Covid-19 has exacerbated the political, economic, and social vulnerability of millions of Palestinians who were already on the brink of major catastrophes like famine, disease, and ethnic cleansing.
Living under occupation in the West Bank, under siege in Gaza, restricted in refugee camps, marginalized in annexed Jerusalem and historical Palestine, and silenced and policed in the diaspora, Palestinians are deprived of basic human rights and above all, dignity.
So on Palestinian Land Day, March 30th -- which commemorates the 1976 killing of six Palestinians and the injuring of 70 others by Israeli forces in Nazareth during protests against Israeli land expropriation -- USPCN introduced the Campaign for Liberation and Dignity.
The cutting of funds to UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency, established exclusively to provide relief and support to Palestinian refugees), the inaccessibility to Palestinians due to pandemic travel restrictions, and the economic turmoil spurred by the pandemic, blockade, and military occupation, is having a brutal impact on our people.
It is our duty to address this crisis now and also organize and advocate for the long term. We will participate in legislative advocacy to end medical apartheid, while educating the public and our own communities and friends of the massive healthcare disparities we have always faced, even pre-pandemic.
We will engage and cultivate partnerships with Palestinians in the homeland and refugee camps in neighboring states, to ensure their voices are centered; and through these partnerships, we will envision and establish future goals and a shared voice as we demand an end to conditional aid that includes criminal restrictions on Covid-19 vaccinations.
"They steal your bread, then give you a crumb... then they demand you thank them for their generosity...Oh their insolence"
In upholding their dignity and ours, we continue to organize for a free Palestine.
