What they’ve said about Palestine Advocacy Day
St. Louis, MO
Not just to overcome the fear of speaking up against power, PAD has inspired me and taught me how to organize my thoughts into an effective message. I will take back the inspiration that we will not shy away from who we are and provide younger voices with the tools to do just that.
Paterson, NJ
The community working for justice in Palestine is strong and ready to work. PAD has prepared me to go home and work in-district, and make sure that our voices are counted when it comes to the conversation in Palestine
St. Louis, MO
I mean honestly I learned that the tide really is turning, were done with being spoken for and not to & that it scares the opposition that we’re 3rd, going into 4th generation and still haven’t backed down and never will.
Minneapolis, MN
Before PAD, I was pretty ignorant about Palestine, but taking that trip to DC changed my life absolutely in so many ways. I enjoyed suiting up and presenting the case for Palestine to my representatives, but what made PAD special for me was how it fostered a learning environment that made me comfortable with claiming Palestine as my issue, even if I’m not Palestinian. Now, Palestinians will always be dear to my heart.
Chicago, IL
PAD was an opportunity to see the grass-roots organizing we use at rallies and protests mobilize to Capitol Hill and demand from our leadership the representation and justice they so frequently preach. PAD offered intensive training on how to advocate for the cause of Palestine on every front: local, regional, and national.

Advocacy Day in DC was the perfect introduction for youth like myself to better understand how our democratic system works, how policies are written and pushed, and how to build relationships with our representatives so we can hold them accountable to the values that are important to us and the promises they made.
