Global Strike for Palestine

We, the Palestine Diaspora Movement (PDM), call upon all supporters of the Palestinian struggle to join us on January 21st - 28th for a Global Strike for Palestine in support of an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the Palestinian fight for freedom and liberation. 

After surviving a night of distressing carpet bombing and displacement at Al Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Bisan Owda, a Palestinian journalist, called on the world to mobilize and commit to a Global Strike Week from Jan 21st to 28th, 2024.

‘Going on strike’ means refusing to go to work. It is a way of protesting about an issue. There are other ways to strike, especially if you cannot call off work for a day or a week. Global Strike Week is a call for worldwide protests in various forms to show solidarity with Palestine. This Global Strike can involve all aspects of your life. Join us and Bisan in committing to “no more business as usual” while a genocide occurs in Palestine.

You can choose one or more ways to participate in the Global Strike! By taking action this week and making them part of our lifestyle, we can ensure a sustainable and long-lasting commitment to ending the genocide and liberating Palestine.

PDM has created a ‘GLOBAL STRIKE’ guide. We show you the many ways to participate in a Global Strike Week for Palestine beyond refusing to go to work.

Participating in a Global Strike is a commitment to no more business as usual while genocide occurs in Palestine. Every action matters, so find the best way for you!

PDM is collaborating with @wizard_bisan1 to amplify her call to action for a Global Strike for Palestine!

We ask our people in the diaspora and our joint struggle supporters, along with pro-Palestinian organizations, collectives, and coalitions, to join us for a Global Strike in support of an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the Palestinian fight for freedom and liberation.  We call on you to organize actions in your local community, pressure politicians on all levels, mobilize media channels, organize social media storms including influencers and others, release your own statements in solidarity, host teach-ins within your area with students and associations, and issue public demands to your governments to apply sanctions against the settler-colonial state of Israel.

We will continue to amplify the call of the Palestinian people in Gaza! By amplifying their demands: an immediate ceasefire, lift the siege, end the occupation, and free Palestine!

Freedom, liberation, and return!

Until then in solidarity,

Palestine Diaspora Movement
