Bismillah.

We, the Palestine Diaspora Movement, call on Palestinians and allies worldwide to unite and take action for our new #CenterThePeople campaign. This campaign serves as a bold and urgent call to follow the lead of those who have given the most for our homeland and to stand firm against Zionist colonialism. The martyrs, prisoners, and resistance fighters of Palestine are not just symbols of our struggle; they are the leaders who have paid the ultimate price, and their sacrifices must guide every aspect of our movement.

#CenterThePeople is not merely a slogan; it is a call to refocus, to ground our advocacy, mobilization, and resistance in the lived realities of those on the frontlines. This campaign extends far beyond words—it influences every action we take, from flooding the streets in protest to how we mobilize politically, including voting this November, to dismantling and disrupting the systems complicit in the colonization of our beloved Palestine. We reject narratives that marginalize the leadership of those most impacted by Zionist oppression and instead, insist that their voices, struggles, and sacrifices are the compass for our liberation movement.

At this critical moment, as Palestinian resistance stands firm from the streets of Gaza to the cells of political prisoners, our commitment is clear. This campaign is a declaration that we will not compromise or cater to those outside our struggle; we will stand principled and firm in centering our people on the ground. Our movement will not sway to the demands of those who are detached from the suffering and resistance of our people. We will continue to challenge and dismantle every institution, every system, and every policy that enables Zionist colonialism, from media outlets to corporations profiting from our oppression.

This is a call for all who stand in solidarity with Palestine to take action—protests, teach-ins, cultural events, and digital campaigns are just the beginning. We are committing ourselves to the core principles of Palestinian liberation, to justice, and to the path laid out by those who have sacrificed the most. Let us rise to serve our people, follow their lead, and remain unyielding in our fight for a free and liberated Palestine.

This campaign centers our faith and our conviction that Allah guides us on this path. We stand firm in our belief that liberation is near—that by following the righteous struggle of our people in Palestine and by grounding our actions in the faith that our cause is just, we will see Palestine free.

The #CenterThePeople campaign is a call to action to follow our people in their relentless pursuit of liberation. We will return. Free Palestine.

In solidarity and struggle,
The Palestine Diaspora Movement (PDM)
