so many Palestinians see as being the start of a century of
dispossession and suffering.
We Stand
We stand for justice and equal rights
We stand against colonialism
We stand against apartheid
We stand against ethnic cleansing
We stand for human dignity and equality
We stand this day with those whose freedom is denied
We link arms with those who have fled war, torture and despair
We come in penance for broken promises and political fixes
We walk the long road with all those who strive for peace, justice
and reconciliation
We weep with those who long to return to home
We pray in the hope that one day all people in Palestine and Israel
will live in peace as neighbours with full equal rights

“The failure of our leaders to back words with meaningful action is glaring. As the 1.4 million people in Rafah face attacks that our leaders know would be catastrophic, they must finally act to stop the slaughter.” Read the statement from thirty one UK NGO’s regarding Israel’s invasion of Rafa.
“We took to the streets with signs in hand and cries of protest. We stood together, supporting each other. I saw many women expressing pain and anger in various ways: through music, graffiti, dance... or simply walking in silence but with their heads held high. Each one had a unique story of experiencing violence.” Alexia Lizarraga Quintero, Amos’ new Partnerships and Climate Fellowship Manager, writes about her experience of International Women’s Day in Mexico.
