Webinar: Mobilizing for Gaza through Crowdfunding and Mutual Aid

In the midst of the ongoing genocide in Gaza with 1.7 million people displaced and 70% of residential buildings destroyed, the immediate need is immense and mutual aid is playing a critical role. Mutual aid is when people come together to meet the immediate needs of the community without the help of an official body.

What has been the experience of people running crowdfunding campaigns for mutual aid? What are the principles of mutual aid and how does this compare to traditional humanitarian relief efforts? How do members of the diaspora feel safe supporting friends and family in Gaza, in face of the weaponization of U.S. antiterrorism laws to criminalize advocacy for Palestinian rights.

Join us for a conversation with Joyce Ajlouny, General Secretary of AFSC, and Diala Shamas, Senior Staff Attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights as we explore this topic together.
