Support Palestine Action defendants facing prison

There is a high chance our friends will be put away in prison for over a year for a political action, targeting Elbit systems as part of Palestine Action.

Whether it be house arrest or incarceration, the thought of being locked up away from the communities they are such a huge part of is extremely distressing - on top of the added worries of life, like making sure friends and loved ones are able to attend their trials or travel up to support them. Their trials are a long way from home and we as a community want to be able to be there to support them, but as it stands we can't afford the travel or accomodation to be there for them.

We're setting up this fundraiser on behalf of these comrades so we can support them and make sure they do not have to worry about finances or cost in the few months leading up to their trials.

We're keeping our friends' identities private for their own safety but part of us wishes we could shout about who they were because you all know them. They're the people sitting next to you at the community meal, the people who turn up to every eviction resistance, people at the open assemblies and giving workshops - they have helped us so much, now it's time we show them that same love and solidarity back.

Many of us know the feeling of organising in groups that don't have the infrastructure to support us once the news story settles and the charges pile up - which is why it's even more important that we all step up in whatever way we can. Please donate if you can but if you aren't able to, just sharing this fundraiser with others will go a long way!
