Make Palestine heard this election!

The movement for Palestine is gaining ground.   Last year, 94 politicians spoke out against the Israeli military’s mistreatment of Palestinian children; and the Labor Party has committed to Recognising Palestine.  This happened because people like you refused to be silent, and called on their political representatives not to be silent either.  

In these weeks before the election, candidates are listening. It is your chance to educate and inspire them about the Palestine cause.

We want the new parliamentarians to be prepared to speak for Palestinian human rights and equality - and they'll only do this if they know we want them to!
