For many years, the Cultures of Resistance Network has been committed to the movement for a free Palestine. We have been proud to work with leading activists, lawyers, musicians, and filmmakers who are taking courageous stands to end the Israeli occupation, combat genocide, uphold international law, protect human rights, promote Palestinians’ right to self-determination, and secure a just peace in the region.
At the bottom of this page, you will find a list of organizations that we support which are working on this crucial issue. Many of these groups provide regular updates on the situation in Gaza and the West Bank, as well as suggestions for actions that you can take to show solidarity with the people of Palestine. By following the links below, you can visit the organizations’ web pages to learn more.
On May 30, 2020, CoR Network founder iara lee hosted a virtual discussion to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Israeli attack on the Mavi Marmara, part of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla. The flotilla was an effort to bring humanitarian aid to the illegally blockaded Gaza Strip, and the largest boat in the flotilla was the Mavi Marmara. In the early morning hours of May 31, 2010, Israeli commandos boarded the Mavi Marmara and opened fire on civilians, killing nine passengers (a tenth passenger died later from his injuries) and wounding dozens more. You can watch the discussion below or on YouTube.
