THE PLEDGE
As a Designer, I pledge to
Call for an immediate permanent ceasefire in Gaza, to end the killing, maiming and forced displacement of Palestinians, and to allow for unlimited humanitarian aid to enter Gaza
Call for an end to israel’s illegal dispossession and occupation of Palestinian land
Call for the equal rights and self-determination of all Palestinian people
Stand in solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people for human rights, freedom and equality
Offer your tools, talent and resources as a designer to support existing Palestinian organisations for a Free Palestine
Acknowledge that design solutions require lived-experience and identified-roles for equitable outcomes, if I do not fulfill those requirements support should come from me in forms other than design such as donations and amplifying voices
Support BDS actions until israel meets its obligation to recognize the Palestinian people's right to self-determination
Encourage myself and those around me to learn about israel's history of Apartheid against the Palestinian people
Call on politicians, design community leaders and design organisations to call for a ceasefire, an end to occupation and hold israel accountable for its war crimes
Prioritize Palestinian-owned businesses, suppliers and collaborators
Uplift fellow design comrades in the common pursuit of a Free Palestine
