You can raise awareness in your workplace and community

Why it matters

Speaking up in your professional or community setting can feel uncomfortable, but it’s precisely this disruption that can highlight the severity of what’s happening. Silence in familiar spaces often makes violence seem distant, abstract, or irrelevant. Yet for many, the workplace is the main social network, and one of the most powerful channels for collective awareness and action. Bringing Gaza into these spaces can break the illusion of normalcy, open necessary conversations, and build shared responsibility.

What you can do

• Start the conversation. Approach leaders or peers in your workplace or community group. Propose a moment of reflection, a shared reading, or a symbolic gesture.
• Use practical tools. Distribute fact sheets, start petitions, and facilitate group discussions or short presentations.
• Encourage a stand. Invite your organization to publicly express solidarity through a statement, a visual sign of support, or by promoting a petition.
• Review internal practices. Encourage your workplace or group to assess its suppliers, partners, and internal processes to avoid direct or indirect complicity in the genocide or apartheid in Palestine.
