Are you a student, worker, or grassroots activist organizing for Palestinian freedom in your school, workplace, or city?

Pal Legal is just one call away from supporting you with:

• Knowing your rights and risk assessment

• Censorship of pro-Palestine speech

• Disciplinary threats and punishments

• Restrictive policies in your school, workplace, or city

• Navigating interactions with police or FBI

• Anti-Palestinian racism and discrimination

• Weaponized accusations of terrorism or antisemitism

• Online safety and doxing

• Organizational resilience amidst state repression

On August 26, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned two Palestine advocacy groups—Palestine Action and Masar Badil—along with an anti-fascist group, Autistici/Inventati, designating them as Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) organizations.

These designations seek to repress the ability of activists to operate but, importantly, also aim to scare U.S. residents from interacting with—or even speaking about—these organizations, under threat of criminal prosecution. But one thing remains clear: The First Amendment protects the right of activists to independently educate themselves and their communities about these organizations and speak out in support of them.
