Purpose and Mission
The Sacramento Regional Coalition for Palestinian Rights (the Coalition) 
comprises organizations and individuals who advocate for human rights, civil 
rights, equality, and dignity of the Palestinian people living in occupied 
Palestine, Israel, the United States, and elsewhere in the diaspora. The 
Coalition calls for full implementation of international law regarding and 
respect for the rights and dignity of Palestine and the Palestinian people. 

Recognizing that Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel are under 
assault by the Israeli government, armed settlers, and others, the Coalition 
advocates for immediate changes in U.S. policy toward Palestine and Israel.These 
changes include a halt to all U.S. military aid and other aid to Israel that 
enables or promotes: violations of human rights; the continued oppression of the 
Palestinian people, their culture, and identity; and Israeli policies of 
apartheid, which are a crime under the International Convention on the 
Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid, ratified by United Nations 
General Assembly. 

Recognizing that U.S. advocates for Palestinian rights are under assault by 
anti-Palestinian organizations and other entities, we also dedicate ourselves to 
support the rights of all to challenge U.S. & Israeli policies.

The Coalition engages only in nonviolent strategies, including efforts in 
response to the international campaign for boycott, divestment, and sanctions 
(www.bdsmovement.net) that calls for Israel to meet its obligation to recognize 
the Palestinian people’s inalienable right to self-determination and fully 
complies with the precepts of international law by: 

1. Ending its occupation and colonization of all Arab lands and dismantling the 
Wall;
2. Recognizing the fundamental rights of the Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel 
to full equality; and
3. Respecting, protecting and promoting the rights of Palestinian refugees to 
return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN resolution 194.

The following organizations are members of the Sacramento Regional Coalition for 
Palestinian Rights;
American Muslims for Palestine, Chico Palestine Action Working Group, Davis 
Committee for Palestinian Rights, Friends of Sabeel Sacramento Region, Jewish 
Voice for Peace, Palestinian American Congress, Palestine-Israel Working Group 
of Nevada County, Sacramento Area Peace Action (www.sacpeace.org), Sacramento 
BDS, Sacramento County Green Party, Talking Drum, Veterans for Peace, Women’s 
International League for Peace & Freedom.
