American Muslims for Palestine

American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) invites you all to spend your upcoming Thanksgiving weekend advocating, mobilizing, and learning more about Palestine at our 17th Annual Convention for Palestine in the U.S. from November 28th to 30th, 2024, at the Tinley Park Convention Center near Chicago, IL. This year’s Palestine Convention entitled “Gaza: Outlasting Genocide,” will act as a testament to the steadfastness of the Palestinians in Gaza, and their determination to live in the midst of death and destruction. Outlasting Genocide is a theme centering Gaza and its people. While we may feel exhausted and overwhelmed with our activism in the United States, our struggle to achieve Palestinian rights has never wavered; in fact, it has strengthened. Join us in this noble effort and stay tuned for more news and updates soon! Register today @ PalestineConvention.org

Eid Mubarak! The AMP Family wishes you and your family a blessed Eid Al Adha! While Muslims around the world practice the Sunnah of celebrating Eid, our brothers and sisters in the Gaza Strip, West Bank, and all of Palestine continue to be subjected to genocide, apartheid, and brutal occupation by the Israeli military - protected by unconditional U.S. support. We stand in solidarity with our people and pledge to continue fighting for their human rights and fundamental freedoms through AMP’s tireless advocacy and organizing efforts.

🗓 Mark Your Calendars & Plan Your Travels! 📣 We are calling on all supporters of justice to join us on Saturday, January 13th, 2024, as we march on Washington DC demanding a #CeaseFireNow and an end to Israeli occupation of Palestine. More details to come soon… #FreePalestine

"AMP and AJP Action reaffirm their commitment to a just solution that guarantees all of the inalienable rights of Palestinians. The path to such a solution must involve tangible actions, not the continuation of empty promises. Palestinians deserve the right to live and live with dignity, freedom, and justice."
