ABOUT US
The US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) was founded in 2001 to support the Palestinian people’s struggle for freedom. Now in 2023, we’re launching USCPR Action, our advocacy and political arm designed to expand our work. USCPR Action is a project of Tides Advocacy, a 501(c)4 organization.
WHO WE ARE
The US Campaign for Palestinian Rights Action (USCPR Action) is a diverse movement of Palestinians and their allies who advocate for Palestinian rights and a transformation of U.S. policy on Palestine. That means ending U.S. military funding to apartheid Israel, once and for all.
USCPR Action can leverage our demands beyond where we’ve traditionally gone, by advocating for legislation, endorsing political candidates, holding elected officials accountable, and building power across movements.
With relationships across grassroots and policy spaces, we work on a range of issues for Palestinian and collective liberation, including abolition, Indigenous justice, climate justice, ending state violence, and more. Our struggles for liberation are intertwined.

-
Every year, the U.S. government sends at least $3.8 billion to the Israeli military to kill Palestinian people and steal their native land. Our goal is to end U.S. military funding to Israel, and to advocate for justice and freedom for the Palestinian people.
-
Right now, millions of people are taking action for Palestinian rights across the country, and we must channel our people power into policy and systems change. Our vision is to advance Palestinian rights as a non-negotiable part of the progressive agenda in the U.S.
-
We’re fighting to build unprecedented support for Palestinian human rights in Congress, in order to introduce tangible legislation to limit and end U.S. military funding to Israel.
We know what we’re up against—the deeply entrenched anti-Palestinian racism, Islamophobia, and imperialism of the U.S. government, and the influential power of Zionist lobby groups like AIPAC and Christians United for Israel (CUFI).
We’ve flooded inboxes over email and phone for weeks on end, and it’s time to make sure Congress knows what power we all hold.
Our strength lies in our people power, in the mass movement of millions of diverse supporters rising up for Palestinian rights. Together, we will make our voices heard in the halls of Congress. We will fight to end U.S. military funding to Israel, and we will keep pushing for as long as it takes.
OUR NEXT STEPS
In the next year, we are committed to the following:
Generate a congressional scorecard to rank candidates and hold elected officials accountable
Launch our election pledge both for candidates and cross-movement partners
Endorse supported candidates running in 2024 and beyond
Directly advocate on Capitol Hill, including advocating for legislation to end U.S. military funding to Israel
