Resilience, heroism, steadfastness, Palestinian determination to stay on one's land despite injustice, an investment in advocacy and support to advance that determination, a model for the world — all of these define the key Palestinian value, Sumud. To sustain Sumud, Rebuilding Alliance invites you to provide aid for and advocacy with Palestinian communities throughout the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem.
Rebuilding Alliance is dedicated to advancing equal rights for the Palestinian people through education, advocacy, and support that assures Palestinian families the right to a home, schooling, economic security, health & safety, and a promising future.
Help expand emergency response in rural Area C of the West Bank, in Gaza, and in East Jerusalem — and build essential advocacy for Palestinian equal rights.
Here is our work: Direct Aid including: Jenin Emergency Relief Fund / Mrs. Najah’s Kitchen: Gaza Emergency Meals / TogetherWeCan: Medical food for Palestine's PKU Kids to prevent brain damage / Gaza Emergency Relief Fund / Rebuilding to Remain in Palestine's Al Aqaba — housing finance in Area C! / The Ibn Rush'd Libary and the Al Haq Kindergarten in Al Aqaba Village / Love, Learning, and Support for Gaza's Children

Urgent Action for Palestinian Human Rights: Keep Palestinian schools standing!

Senator Feinstein's letter stopped the demolition of Jinba Elementary and Al Fakeit Elementary in August.
