Mission

With this Puzzles for Palestine charity pack, our mission is to make a difference in the following ways:


Empathy

Oppression does not happen in a vacuum or spring out of nowhere. History has shown that dehumanization is a requirement for those in power to carry out severe injustices. Our media and cultural atmosphere in the United States and many parts of the "Western" world further contributes to this degradation of Palestinian identity. This puzzle pack is our community's effort of empathy and solidarity to uplift the humanity of the Palestinian people.


Shared Learning

Many of us have been frustrated to realize that the information we knew — or thought we knew — about Palestine was insufficient or inaccurate, thanks in no small part to decades of biased reporting and political attempts to erase or delegitimize Palestinian narratives. We found https://imeu.org to be a particularly helpful site to learn about the occupation of Palestine, among others, and have catalogued our own list of many other resources HERE. We hope you will use this diversified page of Palestinian media to start a learning journey of your own that sustains you beyond this moment in time until Palestine is free.


Monetary Support

We selected four nonprofit humanitarian aid campaigns to benefit with this pack that are helping to secure safety and justice for the Palestinian people, and ask you to urgently support them HERE. Money isn't listed first because it's all too easy for our overwhelmingly white, wealthy governments to engage in flagrant acts of violence only to turn around after the fact and offer financial support to "remedy" the damage. It takes more courage to stand against violence while it is happening and call for a ceasefire, which we urgently ask you to prioritize so that your money can be used as effectively as possible. Our obligations as global citizens do not end at donations; it's on all of us to fight together for a free Palestine.
