U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights

What U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights does

The U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) is a national nonprofit coalition headquartered in Washington, DC, that serves as a political home and strategic support hub for the U.S.-based Palestine solidarity movement. Founded in 2002 under the name US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation and rebranded in 2016, the organization operates as a 501(c)(3) public charity under the legal name Education for Just Peace in the Middle East. USCPR provides activists with educational toolkits (including the Stop Gaza Genocide Toolkit, BDS resources, and a comprehensive Palestine curriculum), trains and consults grassroots organizers, coordinates a national local group network, and runs corporate accountability campaigns such as Boycott Chevron and Mask Off Maersk. The organization's affiliated entity, USCPR Action (a 501(c)(4) project of Beyond Impact), handles electoral advocacy and direct political action including phonebanking Congress on military spending.

USCPR generates revenue through diversified donation streams, including 2,030 monthly sustaining donors in its Olive Branch Club, one-time gifts, stock transfers via Charles Schwab, planned giving and bequests, employer matching gifts, and donor-advised fund contributions. The Rooting Resistance program partners with the Palestine Fair Trade Association (since 2010) to plant olive trees in Palestine at $25 per tree, with nearly 40,000 trees planted to date. The organization's distribution channels are primarily digital — its Instagram reached 4.5 million people between October 2023 and September 2024, supplemented by email action alerts, online donation platforms (EveryAction, ActBlue), and a network of in-person local solidarity groups across the United States.

USCPR operates with a lean staff of 7 employees, supported by an executive team led by Executive Director Ahmad Abuznaid and Development Director Mike Daly. The organization has faced external pressure including a November 2025 settlement to repay PPP loans from 2020-2021 following right-wing legal challenges — a defensive restructuring USCPR characterizes as an effort to remain focused on mission rather than absorb litigation costs. USCPR frames its work around a rights-based, accountability and justice-oriented framework connecting Palestinian liberation to broader movements including Indigenous, Black-Palestinian, reproductive justice, and LGBTQ+ solidarity through its Joint Struggles resources.
