Who We Are
Black4Palestine is an emerging national network of Black activists committed to supporting the Palestinian struggle for freedom, justice, peace and self-determination. We seek to integrate our work around Palestine into the global and domestic struggles for Black liberation and human emancipation.
We advocate full sovereignty and rights for the Palestinian people and fully endorse the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. We seek to engage the margins of Palestinian society - including refugees in the Middle East, the prisoners’ movement, people in Gaza, and youth across the diaspora. Providing practical support towards the right of return is one of our priorities.
We oppose racism, capitalism, colonialism, imperialism, sexism, zionism, and all forms of oppression. We organize through an intersectional approach that values the struggles of women, LGBTQ, and indigenous people around the world.
We have members across the country who are part of a variety of Black organizations. We are an intergenerational group that includes artists, academics, full time activists, and students.
Our local and international work is grounded in meeting the people where they are, in refugee camps or in their homeland.

Many of us have traveled to Palestine and are willing to speak about our experiences. We can also talk at public or private meetings from the following perspectives alongside our counterparts in Palestine:
Art and film, the Black church and religion, the civil rights movement, Movement for Black Lives, Black Panther Party, New Afrikan Independence Movement, policing, mass incarceration, political prisoners, public education, Cuban solidarity, Puerto Rican liberation, Pan Africanism, Jews of Color, and much more.
Black4Palestine emerged in 2014 cultivated from the cross-movement solidarity between Palestinian activists and participants in the Ferguson uprisings.
