In times of crisis and injustice, it’s easy to feel powerless. But even small actions can create ripple effects that contribute to meaningful change. If you want to support the people of Palestine, you don’t need to be a politician or a billionaire. Your everyday choices—what you buy, share, and say—can make a difference.
Here are five simple yet powerful ways you can stand in solidarity with Palestine:
1. Shop With Purpose
One of the easiest ways to support Palestine is by purchasing from businesses that directly give back to the community. By supporting Palestinian-owned shops and brands, you’re not just getting a product—you’re investing in livelihoods and raising awareness.
One great website to check out is The Palestine Shop — a curated store that donates a portion of profits to help Palestinian children, while celebrating Palestinian culture with clothing, flags, and accessories.
2. Use Your Voice on Social Media
Your voice matters. Sharing educational content, personal stories, or even reposting infographics and fundraisers can spark important conversations and spread awareness to people who might not otherwise be paying attention. Every share counts.
Pro tip: Use hashtags like #FreePalestine, #SaveSheikhJarrah, or #StandWithPalestine to join the broader movement and amplify your message.
3. Donate What You Can
Even small donations go a long way. Whether it’s $5 or $50, your contributions can help provide food, medical aid, and educational resources to those in need. Consider donating to trusted organizations like Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP), UNRWA, or local grassroots efforts.
4. Stay Informed and Educate Others
Understanding the history and current events surrounding Palestine is crucial. Take the time to read books, watch documentaries, and follow reliable journalists and activists. Educated allies are powerful allies.
Then, talk about it. Normalize conversations about Palestine with your friends, family, and community. Awareness breeds action.
5. Boycott Companies That Profit From Oppression
Research which corporations support or profit from the occupation, and consider alternatives. The BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement offers guidance on which companies to avoid and how to make ethical consumer choices that align with your values.
Supporting Palestine doesn’t always require grand gestures. It’s about consistency, intention, and heart. When enough people take small, everyday actions—like buying a keffiyeh, sharing a post, or donating a few dollars—it creates a collective force too strong to ignore.
No act is too small. Stand up, speak out, and show solidarity—every step matters.
