PDA was founded in 2004 in opposition to the raging war and occupation of Iraq. We oppose wars and occupations of foreign countries and of people’s lands. Our dedication to peace has not wavered over the years. PDA Arizona is committed to supporting the Arizona Palestine Network and its continuing work for Peace and Justice.
We need a new U.S. foreign policy based on peace, cooperation, and support for human rights and democracy. PDA advocates for the withdrawal of U.S. troops and contractors from endless wars across the Middle East and other areas of the world. We oppose the unbalanced policy of U.S. sanctions on countries like Venezuela, and Cuba, while simultaneously giving political and military aid to repressive governments, like Israel that are our so-called allies. We support diplomacy and international cooperation, Palestinian rights and the rights of indigenous peoples, and growing calls for peace in conflicts around the world.
The Arizona Palestine Solidarity Alliance is a solidarity, anti-militarization group working to build a regional movement opposing the ongoing US/Israeli partnership that supports the brutal occupation of the Palestinian people and lands, and the increasing militarization of the US/Mexico border region. As a coalition of groups and individuals working together, we are part of the global movement for a campaign of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it complies with International Law, respects Palestinian fundamental rights of freedom, equality and self-determination and ends its occupation and colonization of Arab lands. In addition, we strongly oppose the militarization of the US border and support border justice and indigenous rights and power. There are two chapters in Tucson and Phoenix.
Jewish Voice for Peace opposes anti-Jewish, anti-Muslim, and anti-Arab bigotry and oppression. JVP seeks an end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem; security and self-determination for Israelis and Palestinians; a just solution for Palestinian refugees based on principles established in international law; an end to violence against civilians; and peace and justice for all peoples of the Middle East.
As the SJP ASU (Students for Justice Palestine Arizona State University) Chapter, we are dedicated to educating the campus and the community of injustices committed to Palestine and Palestinians.
