Thank you for your ongoing support!

In 2022…

2022 has been a year of immense growth and revitalization in the struggle for Palestinian liberation. The PYM is proud of our role in the broader movement; this year, we held 130+ actions in over fifteen cities, disseminated vital information and education on Palestine to our audience of hundreds of thousands, inaugurated new branches of our transnational work, convened 100 PYM members for our summer school, and much more. As always, we couldn’t have done it without you. We hope we can count on you to continue supporting us in the years to come. 

The PYM’s convening of 100 members from various chapters in the US, Canada, and Sweden for our Summer School and National General Assembly in June. Through a dedicated collective process that spanned more than a week, we voted in new leadership and a robust political program.   

Our chapters organized or co-sponsored 80+ actions that mobilized thousands of people in over 15 cities across the U.S. and Canada. These included:

• Vigils and protests for the martyrdom of Shireen Abu Akleh.

• Protests and rallies against heightened Zionist attacks on Gaza in August. 

• Sit-ins at the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. to protest forced evictions in Jerusalem. 

• Participation in the “No Tech for Apartheid” campaign, working alongside workers at Google and Amazon to protest the companies’ contracts providing surveillance technology to the Zionist military.  

And much more — see our full report here.

We put on large-scale, political visual projections on significant buildings, including the Israeli consulate in San Francisco, to commemorate our martyrs, condemn Zionist violence, and affirm our peoples’ right to resist.  Our chapters also organized film screenings of Fedayin: Georges Abdallah’s Fight, Off Frame: Revolution Until Victory, and Jenin, Jenin. 

We organized cultural events such as dabke nights, community iftars, picnics, a soccer tournament, panel discussions on Nakba memories, and more. The Dallas chapter organized a special art exhibit at the Dallas Public Library showcasing Palestinian history, literature and art while commemorating 74 years of the Nakba.

We continued our transnational expansion, including a delegation of our National Executive Board to Italy, and the subsequent inauguration of the Italy branch of the PYM.
