Inspired by this post by @alex-just-vibing. PaliRev values the contribution of all people to the liberation of Palestine, and we encourage you to share this around your schools or with others to give accessible options for us all to show solidarity for the Palestinian people.

[image id: an image with a white background, bordered on the bottom left and top right with green, corner illustrations, an olive garden branch drawing on the bottom right, and a drawing of a boy sitting down with a backpack leaning on him, looking downwards sadly on the top right. there is a low opacity palestinian flag behind black text reading "HOW DO I SUPPORT PALESTINIAN RESISTANCE IF I CAN'T DONATE?" below this is a list in smaller black text, bulleted with light green arrows. the list reads:

"- Wear shirts, pins, keffiyehs, anything outwardly pro Palestine.

Email your Representatives, Congress, White House. Tell the people in charge you want a ceasefire.

Talk to your local library about holding an educational night about the genocide and/or Palestinian culture.

Make schoolwork about Palestine! Writing about news? Focus on Palestine. Making questions for a test? Use Palestine as an example.

Find social media accounts for your representatives and schools, and make a fuss. Comment and @ them!

Show up to local actions (i.e. protests), join and organization, and follow Palestinian journalists! (next line) - Motaz Azaiza, Plestia Alaqad, Hind Khoudary, Bisan Owda -

Educate yourself on anti-Palestine talking points (Palestine toolkit) and how to refute them in a calm manner.

Speak up! It's scary, but don't let other people's bigotry go unchecked. You'll find that other people agree, and speak up from your example.

Don't engage with people unwilling to learn. Your goal is to educate people who are and make those comfortable with genocide feel UNCOMFORTABLE."

i want to do everything i can to support palestine, but im unable to give money (im a minor and my parents refuse to get me a credit/debit card). i do my daily clicks on arab.org and spread information, but is there anything else i can do? sorry, i know its not your job to educate me, im just struggling to find anything i dont need a card to do

Hi! Thank you for reaching out! This is a post I stumbled upon a while ago below and I still reference here for those who haven't seen it. I'm not sure how young you are, but I just wanted to state this before you read this list of ways we can support -that no one is going to fault you for not being able to do everything. There are many things we can do that can cause a positive impact -especially boycotting, joining local actions if they are accessible to us, boosting reliable gofundme and donation links here, and staying informed/educated -they are all equally important as well.

There are also a lot of people who are still very apathetic and frustratingly so -do not care, so please know that everything you're doing -especially by not turning away from what is happening in Palestine and being silent on what is going on, and instead are looking for ways to make change -matters a lot.

I'm always here for questions, so I don't mind sharing resources and educational sources. I am also by no means perfect or an expert on everything -which is why I will reference platforms/pages of folks when I am talking about various interconnecting issues, systemically so, because that is their lived experience, not mine, and I do no speak on behalf of them.

On that note, (for people who are interested in learning more about Palestine), please do not ask any Palestinian person to 'explain' the systemic oppression they face. There are lots of resources online, and I have shared many -palipunk has a master list on their page for folks interested in starting to learn; Let's Talk Palestine on Instagram has mountains of educational posts, and there's also a quick beginner's course (which is free) on The Palestine Academy's website. Of course this is not extensive, but it is a start.

Thank you again, and wishing you all the best. And as always, free Palestine.

After the last infographic, PaliRev received many questions on the meaning of the kufiya and culturally appropriate usage. Palestinians have asked that everyone willing wear the kufiya in solidarity with their struggle and to unite. Of course, this should be done with respect to the importance and history surrounding the kufiya, and proper care shown to the garment. Thank you all for your strength!

[image id: an image with a white background. Medium sized gray text reads, "WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT". Below, large text colored with the Palestinian flag finishes, "PALESTINIAN KUFIYA". There follows an olive green block with white lettering. A white circle partially covers the left-hand corner, a depiction of a Kufiya surrounded by olive branches. The kufiya is a white and black checkered scarf with tied ends. The first line of text is bolded. It reads, "Also known as a keffiyeh, shemagh, or hatta, the kufiya was wrapped around Palestinian rebels' faces during the British Mandate of Palestine and 1936-1939 Arab Revolt to avoid arrest. When banned by authorities, Palestinians all wore kufiya to protect rebels. After illegal Israeli occupation forces banned the Palestinian flag from 1967 to 1993, the kufiya was used to symbolize national identity."

A low opacity gray text between boxes reads, @PaliRev.

Below is a white box with a slight shadow outlining it. In olive green text, one section asks, "What do the patterns represent?" Beside it is an image of the kufiya's design, with a fishnet pattern on top, three bold black lines in the middle, and two rows of olive leaves on bottom. Black text reads, "The fishnet pattern is for Palestinian connection to the sea, knotting together, and the barbed wire of occupation. As the tree lives 300-600 years, olive leaves represent resilience and ties to the land. The bold lines represent trade routes across historic Palestine."

A second section header in olive green text reads, "Who can wear the kufiya?" Below it, black text says, "You, me, and anyone in solidarity with Palestinians, resisting oppression, and honoring its significance and history. The kufiya is not restricted to any group or gender, a symbol of cultural heritage and identity for many in the Middle East, but an international symbol of activism and unity."

A small olive green box at the bottom of the shadowed white box has white text in it which reads, "Where can I get one that supports Palestinians?"

Below the white box and at the bottom of the page are four QR codes with labels beneath them. The first is Hirbawi, the second is Handmade Palestine, the third is KUVRD, and the fourth is Palestine Shirts. /end id.]
