We understand that the news and information coming out about the Israel-Palestine conflict can be disorienting and overwhelming, as well as painful and heartbreaking. Where do we begin to understand the complex long history of this region that spans over 150 years? How do we engage? I have been asking these questions myself and wanted to create a space for some of these questions to begin to be answered. We are compiling a long list of resources to help us on this journey. Some of this information may ask you to question what you've known or have been taught most of your life. It may shift your worldviews and push you into uncomfortable places, but let it. All those emotions are valid, so engage and sit with them. We believe that lasting justice base healing change can happen within Gaza, Palestine-Israel, and the whole region, but it starts with us doing the work and knowing the deep and long history of this area. And then taking this education and letting it change us and move us to action so that deep radical humanity can win.
Just added to this platform is a spreadsheet put together by a large group of people with lots of places to donated and ways to support: SUPPORT PALESTINE SPREADSHEET
