#SaveSheikhJarrah: Who to Follow, Share and Support

A Palestinian-led community organisation based in Yew York City.At times like these, many often ask themselves, “what can I do?” We wince and we shake our heads as we watch Palestinians systematically abused, assaulted and chased out of their homes, the latest example coming in the neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah. There is, in fact, something that you can do: you can learn, you can support, you can share. The news and information cycle is thorny land, full of fake news, obscure news, or no news at all. In this list of individuals, platforms and resources, we have outlets, institutions and individuals  that are fighting to reveal the truth, to show the atrocities being committed against Palestinians.
