When Should You Call Palestine Legal?
/
Are you a student, worker, or grassroots activist organizing for Palestinian freedom in your school, workplace, or city?
Palestine Legal is just one call away from supporting you with:
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AND ACTION PLANNING
You or your organization are thinking about organizing an event, protest, or campaign in support of Palestinian freedom in your school, workplace, or city.
You want to assess the legal risks associated with different courses of action and ensure that your choices are informed and strategic.
2. CENSORSHIP OF PRO-PALESTINIAN SPEECH
You and your speech or actions in support of Palestinians are being suppressed or silenced. You want to challenge it and know your rights.
3. DISCIPLINARY THREATS
Your school or employer is investigating you for supporting Palestinian freedom. You want to protect yourself and continue speaking out.
4. RESTRICTIVE POLICIES
Your school, workplace, or city has instituted policies designed to restrict activism, such as "Time, Place, Manner" rules or the discredited IHRA definition of antisemitism. You want to know your rights and continue organizing.
5. CONTACTED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT
The police or FBI have contacted you for questioning or to meet for a “friendly chat” due to your Palestine-related organizing. You want guidance about how to respond to and conduct yourself during these interactions.
6. ANTI-PALESTINIAN RACISM
You or your organization are facing discrimination or unfair treatment at school, at work, or at a business because you are Palestinian and/or advocate for Palestinian freedom. You want to fight back.
7. WEAPONIZED ACCUSATIONS AND SMEARS
You are falsely accused of supporting terrorism, being antisemitic, or creating a “hostile environment” because of your support for Palestinian freedom. You want guidance about how to resist and fight back against these legal and rhetorical traps for pro-Palestine individuals and organizations.
8. ONLINE SAFETY
You have been bullied or received threats to your safety online and are looking for guidance and resources on how to protect yourself from doxxing and harassment.
9. ORGANIZATIONAL RESILIENCE
Your organization is seeking support strengthening infrastructure and resilience amid increased threats of state scrutiny and repression of groups that support Palestinian freedom.
