Palestine Advocacy Days

Since 2015, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) has organized an annual Palestine Advocacy Day and Training weekend to educate students, community activists, and organizers – young and old – on civic engagement and policy work exclusively on the issue of Palestine.

As of 2021, Palestine Advocacy Days was handed off to Americans for Justice in Palestine Action (AJP Action), AMP’s 501(c)(4) affiliate organization. This year, we’re excited to announce Palestine Advocacy Day 2025 (PAD) from Sunday, October 19th to Tuesday, October 21st, 2025 in Washington, DC.

This October will mark two years since Israel launched its *ongoing* genocidal assault on Gaza, relentlessly bombarding, starving, and isolating over two million Palestinians. This is not a distant crisis. It is a U.S.-funded, U.S.-enabled catastrophe.

That’s why this year’s Palestine Advocacy Days are taking place from October 19-21 in Washington, D.C., with a clear focus on one message: Fighting U.S. Complicity.

We know none of this started on October 7th, but with full political and material support from our government, Israel has killed over 60,000 Palestinians, leveled entire neighborhoods, annihilated entire bloodlines, and turned Gaza into a graveyard in the last two years alone. The use of white phosphorus over densely populated areas. The targeting of journalists, medics, and aid convoys. The deliberate destruction of bakeries, universities, and the last remaining hospitals. Meanwhile, in the West Bank, Israel is doubling down on its settler-colonial agenda, and Palestinians are being displaced, assaulted, and imprisoned in record numbers under the cover of martial rule and settler violence. All of it made possible by U.S. weapons, vetoes, and diplomatic cover.

Even as our own democracy hangs by a thread, with the rise of authoritarianism, political violence, and the erosion of civil rights, the U.S. refuses to course-correct. Instead, it doubles down: shielding Israel from international accountability, sending billions in weapons, and justifying war crimes in the name of a “shared democracy” that doesn’t really exist, all while the rest of the world moves towards demanding accountability and condemning Israel.
