In late 2023, we came together as Palestinian-Washingtonians to advocate within our state for a ceasefire in Gaza. Partnering with the Rachel Corrie Foundation, we convened a coalition to lobby in Olympia for Palestinian rights and against harmful policy. TWO HUNDRED of you showed up, we had 40 plus meetings across 29 districts!

After this successful legislative session, our group formed a Washington State non-profit and have filed to be a 501(c)(4) to continue our advocacy efforts year-round, defend our policy priorities, and make meaningful progress for our communities in WA state.

We are the first state-level Palestinian-led lobby in WA history. And now we're ready to go back again and make sure no bills pass that limit our freedom of speech or assembly while we continue to advocate for the Palestinian community. Help us get there by donating today!
