Good morning! Important reminder: You can take action to support Palestinian liberation today!
LEARN. Read this article “I'm a Queer Palestinian. Here's How I'm Fighting for Liberation” from Adam Haj.
Getty Images shared by them. A group of people protesting, most are wearing facemasks, one person in the background is holding a Palestinian flag while the camera focuses on a person holding a sign that says in blue writing “QUEERS FOR PALESTINE”.
NOTICE. What did you learn while reading this? What do you feel after hearing from a Queer Palestinian about their experience?
ACT. Reach out to a local Queer organization that has been silent on the genocide of Palestinians and share this article, ask them what they need to break their silence, and connect them with Queers for Palestine here.
SHARE. Right now, send this email to 5 friends who are usually vocal about 2SLGBTQIA+ rights.
ASK. What questions come up for you as you think about Palestine and queer liberation and solidarity? Please reply to this email (or, if you are reading this online, leave a comment below) to let us know.
In solidarity for liberation for Palestine,

Shades of Anger was created by a global collective of women to raise awareness and inspire action to free Palestine. We also believe in liberation for Sudan, the Congo, Haiti, and all places where systems of oppression are causing immense suffering and crushing the life out humans. We are led by women of the Global Majority/BIPOC. Shades of Anger is for everyone who wants to act for liberation and you can learn more about it here.
