Safety tips: Protest Edition

Here are some ways you can ensure your safety and the safety of others during a Palestine protest:

Feeling burnt out?

Day in and day out humanity has been witnessing one of the most brutal genocides in history. Each day is more emotional and heart-wrenching than the next. The images that we see from Gaza and the West Bank, the stories we hear from our suffering loved ones, and the rage we feel hold a tremendous toll on our mental health if left neglected. Many of us, 75 days into this genocide, may be experiencing a phenomenon called Activism Fatigue which may result in: despair, desensitization, etc.

Here are some ways that you can combat these emotions:

Engaging your spirituality through prayer
Active Mindfulness through journaling
Talk through intense emotions with loved ones
Giving yourself time to grieve this tremendous loss of life

The fight for Palestine liberation is one that requires persistence and consistence, as with any liberation movement. Its critical to Palestinians in Gaza to keep fighting every single day. This means that we must alter our daily routines to include time for this effort. Whether that be demanding a ceasefire from your representatives every morning on your way to school/work, an hour of uninterrupted "hashtagging" on social media, or boycotting 1-3 Zionist brands (Starbucks, CocaCola, McDonalds), every proactive step towards change makes a difference. (see above for more ways to protest Zionism)

Palestine is not by any means a hopeless cause, thus the light of revolution will never be put out. Be steadfast, be patient, be hopeful, and be kind to yourself.
