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

  • Not design for israeli-owned companies funding the apartheid, companies with headquarters on stolen Palestinian land and companies profiting off the genocide of Palestinian people

  • 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
