Friend --

This year, a ceasefire agreement was finally signed to bring an end to the U.S.-Israeli genocide in Gaza. But the future of the agreement is highly uncertain, as Netanyahu looks for any opportunity to resume the slaughter. Regardless of the outcome, the struggle for Palestinian freedom will need to continue for the long term.

I am writing to ask you to make an urgently-needed end of year contribution to the ANSWER Coalition to help sustain the solidarity movement into the future.

We need to keep piling pressure on politicians to impose an arms embargo and cut off all aid to Israel. Our movement needs to take up the demand to boycott and divest from institutions that profit from Israeli apartheid and genocide. This vital work will require resources from people of conscience like you.

The historic surge of mass mobilizations across the United States continued in 2025. On August 16, a massive crowd from across the country gathered in New York City to oppose the mass starvation of Gaza as Israel's assault reached brutal new heights. On September 26, as Benjamin Netanyahu spoke before the United Nations, another huge march took place to demand the arrest of this internationally-wanted war criminal.

The country rallied behind Mahmoud Khalil, the courageous student leader who was targeted in the Trump administration's crackdown on free speech and put through a cruel ordeal in immigration detention. Even those who had not yet taken part in actions in solidarity with Palestine took a stand in defense of free speech. This movement was successful, and Mahmoud was reunited with his wife and newborn child.

The Palestine solidarity movement has already accomplished so much. The tide of public opinion has decisively shifted. No longer is opposition to Israeli colonialism a political taboo -- it is a mainstream position in the United States embraced by tens of millions of people.

This movement must continue until Palestine is free. But we can only do this with your help. Please make a tax-deductible donation before the end of the year to help sustain this vital work.

Sincerely,

Brian Becker
National Director, ANSWER Coalition
