Defending Lives Through Nonviolence: Support UCP in Palestine (UCPiP)
Join us in co-creating a bold, nonviolent response to escalating violence. Over a hundred trained veterans of unarmed civilian protection (UCP) are ready to deploy to Palestine. These protectors have decades of experience in violent conflict zones, from South Sudan to Colombia, and now stand in solidarity with Palestinian communities under siege. For more information, check out our website or send your question to [email protected].
Your support helps sustain this life-saving presence and expand civilian protection to other high-risk communities across the West Bank.
"If you can come tomorrow, please do." – Community leader
"Having foreigners here is like a warm hug to us." – Local villager
Based on previous experience and the documented effectiveness of UCP, a project of this scale could reduce deaths, injuries, and relocations, help make civilians feel safer, allow dislocated civilians to return home, and help farmers and shepherds to return to their land.
