Resource Library
This resource library is an ode to Palestine, its resistance, people, culture, and power. These resources have been curated by a community of young feminist activists from across the world who are deeply committed to the liberation of Palestine. It's important to acknowledge that we did not create each of the listed resources, and we wish to express our appreciation for the labour invested in their creation. We hope that this resource library serves as an offering, an invitation, and a call to action, urging us to stand in unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian cause. We dream of a world where all of us can live in safety, dignity and freedom. We dream of a Free Palestine!
