DEAR FRIENDS iN THE STRUGGLE FOR PALESTINIAN FREEDOM,

There’s no way to sugarcoat this: the last two years of genocide have been horrific.

As you and I both know, the current 'ceasefire' deal has not stopped Israel from bombing and starving Palestinian families in Gaza. The Palestinian people deserve true and lasting peace, not a sham deal.

Here in the U.S., we have shifted the narrative, but we haven’t shifted power yet.

This report details the work of USCPR in the last year. Thank you for your generous support, which makes what we do possible.

We know that our long-term work must continue, and with your support it will. With you, we are building toward our vision of Palestinian justice, freedom, and self-determination.

The Palestinian people have already sacrificed enough. There is no going backwards. 

Thank you for standing with us at this critical time,

USCPR YOUTH FELLOWS LEARNED KEY SKILLS AND STRATEGIES TO STRENGTHEN GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGNS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AROUND THE U.S.

 In 2025, USCPR’s Fellowship Program welcomed 18 young organizers into a mentorship program to strengthen their ability to grow their skills and sustain community-based campaigns. We sought out fellows from different movement backgrounds who understand that we’re all connected in struggle against the same oppressor.

With the skills and knowledge they’ve gained in the program, our fellows are building more local approaches toward winning their organization’s campaigns, starting in their own neighborhoods. USCPR Youth Fellows are applying lessons from the fellowship to advance an arms embargo in key cities, identify new strategies to cut local business and institutional ties to Chevron in two major oil producing states, and deepen campaigning to end tax breaks that enable weapons production locally.

Chevron gas fuels nearly 50% of Israel’s electricity grid, which includes Israeli military bases, prisons, and illegal settlements. Just as the boycott and divestment campaigns helped catalyze the end of apartheid South Africa, the #BoycottChevron campaign is designed to make it clear that apartheid and genocidal Israel are a bad investment.

In 2025, USCPR and our partners focused on basebuilding with environmental justice activists and faith communities while popularizing the boycott. The Palestinian BDS National Committee and Boycott Chevron coalition called for two days of action, resulting in 50+ demonstrations around the world.

To better support organizers on the ground, we:

• Hosted a “From Supporter to Organizer: How to Take Action with the Boycott Chevron campaign” Mass Movement Call

• Built an accessible webpage that breaks down strategy and ways to take action: uscpr.org/boycott-chevron 

• Facilitated regular grassroots organizing calls and trainings to continue pushing for mass mobilization and adoption of the boycott.

In 2025, the Boycott Chevron movement successfully moved: 

• The Denver Colfax Marathon, Colorado’s largest LGBTQ Center, California State Fair, and Portland City Club to drop Chevron as a sponsor.

• The Seattle MLK Labor Council of 220,000 workers to endorse the Boycott Chevron campaign.

• The Santa Clara County Sustainability Commission to unanimously recommend Chevron divestment.

• Chevron itself to respond to the United Methodists’ resolution to boycott Chevron, the complicit corporation’s first acknowledgment of the campaign, indicating the importance of Christians for Palestine’s collaboration on the campaign.

Over the last year, Maersk has shipped millions of pounds of U.S. military cargo to the genocidal state of Israel. Palestinian Youth Movement’s Mask Off Maersk campaign is working toward a People’s Arms Embargo by mobilizing labor unions to refuse to be complicit in Maersk logistics operations that directly transfer U.S. weapons to Israel. A USCPR Youth Fellow played a key role in PYM’s recent report exposing Oakland Airport’s military cargo shipments to Israel. 

USCPR hosted a couple Mask Off Maersk Power Hours to learn from BDS Morocco organizers’ successful People’s Embargo against Maersk and activate supporters to use our digital tools to jam Maersk’s phone lines. 

USCPR’s North Star goal is to end all U.S. military funding to Israel. As democracy falters in representing the majority of Americans’ demand for an arms embargo against Israel, the people must intervene to uphold international law and prevent crimes against humanity.
