How can I support Prisoners for Palestine?
We put specific calls to action on our social media so keep an eye out for them, but there are many other ways you can show solidarity with Prisoners for Palestine. Getting some friends or comrades together to organise autonomous actions is a great way to get involved and support the prisoners.
This helps to grow awareness and fosters a stronger and more decentralised movement, as well as giving the prisoners a great morale boost. We are all connected through the prison walls as part of the international resistance, with one aim – the liberation of Palestine. The prisoners are the center of our struggle, and show us that state repression cannot stop us from acting for truth, justice and freedom.
