Find your people
Organizing is more durable and more sustaining when it's collective. Look for a local chapter of a Palestine solidarity organization, a campus or community group, or a mutual-aid network in your area. Search your city's name plus "Palestine solidarity" or "Palestine coalition." Show up to one meeting before deciding anything — you're allowed to just listen at first.
Give wisely
If you're donating, favor organizations with a track record and transparency about where money goes:
- Direct humanitarian aid — established medical, food, and emergency-relief organizations working on the ground.
- Refugee support — groups serving Palestinian refugees across the region.
- Look for transparency — reputable groups publish where funds go. Be wary of brand-new funds with no track record, however urgent the appeal.
Recurring gifts, even small ones, are worth more to organizations than one-off spikes — they let people plan.
Use your particular power
You have leverage where you already stand. A teacher can teach; a writer can write; a nurse, a lawyer, a coder, a small-business owner each have a lane. What can you do that most people can't? Start there — it's where you'll last.
Bring others in
The highest-leverage move of all: help others understand. One person who teaches ten multiplies everything. That's what the host kit is for.
Sustainability is strategy. This is a long road. Pace yourself, work with others, and protect your own capacity so you can show up for years, not weeks.
