Picnics For Palestine any where any time #PicnicsForPalestine

Today: taking the solidarity for #Palestine outside Parliament

Good Morning from Palestine



Join us in solidarity with the Palestinian people under an illegal oppressive occupation.

Throughout August and September we are asking everyone to head to parks, green spaces or your garden throughout the nation to show your support and solidarity for Palestinians.

Palestinians are subject to a system of oppression and control and one example of this is being forced out of public spaces by Israeli authorities, just because they’re Palestinians and often for something as simple as having a picnic.

To protest Israel’s colonisation of Palestine we ask you to grab your loved ones and head to any green space to show your support for Palestine. Take photos and videos and upload them on your social media using #PicnicsForPalestine to encourage others to take part.

If you’d like to organise or attend a Picnic for Palestine then please email picnic@foa.org.uk you will receive a Picnic Pack which will include:

  • Information and ideas on how to organise your picnic
  • Palestine Quiz for the picnic
  • Palestine bunting
  • Palestine flag
  • ‘Most Creative Photo’ competition details
  • Injustice illustrated booklet
  • Free Palestine Stickers
  • A4 ‘Picnic for Palestine’ Posters to promote in your area

We look forward to seeing all your picnics!

"The world will never be broken, because we will always stitch it back together & make it beautiful." Susan Muaddi Darraj: #tweetyourthobe #rashidatlaib #congress

Susan Muaddi Darraj, author of A Curious Land & The Inheritance of Exile
"Every thobe is a dress embroidered with the stories, the loves, the tragedies of Palestinian women. The world will never be broken, because we will always stitch it back together & make it beautiful."

#TweetYourThobe. "I was raised in a Palestinian-American family that celebrated the strength of women," Darraj told the Institute of Middle Eastern Understanding. "Seeing Rashida Tlaib wear her thobe today is a powerful affirmation of that strength. I started #TweetYourThobe to celebrate her achievement and educate our fellow Americans about our culture."
