Stand Against Anti-Palestinian Repression
The ELSC has been devoting all its efforts to monitoring and exposing the unlawful targeting of Palestine advocates through racist policy, surveillance and law enforcement; expanding its legal network to better coordinate legal support; and developing legal tools that empower advocacy efforts, disrupt and challenge state and corporate complicity, and create legal precedents that force accountability.
Help us ensure that our mission is sustainable and grows to be community powered.
We are proud to be in community with you. As you continue to organise and take action, make sure to visit our Know Your Rights resources and continue to report any form of repression.
