Repression

Repression against those speaking up against the current war on Gaza and in solidarity with Palestinians are facing an unprecedented degree of repression. Backlash against dissenting voices is real and can have real consequences, but it is not insurmountable. 

If you are facing—or are worried you might face—retaliation for, know that you are not alone. Palestine Legal does critical work supporting individuals whose legal rights have been violated for speaking out in support of Palestine. This includes support for both unionized and non-unionized workers, as well as students. The ACLU also provides assistance through their local affiliates. For faculty, there are resources provided by the AAUP. Help for those facing on-campus repression is also available from PEN America
