We, at the Asian Psychedelic Collective, stand in solidarity with Palestinians and call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

We follow Palestinian organizations’ demands for safety, justice and liberation for Palestinians in Gaza and the diaspora across the globe, and echo the sentiments of the Association of Asian American Studies and on-the-ground activists in “interconnecting Palestine’s struggle with the long criminalization of Black and Indigenous protest in the US, the ongoing suppression of Kashmir’s anti-colonial movements against Indian occupation, the forced expulsion of Armenians from Artsakh, the enforced mass starvation of Afghanistan under current US imperial policies, and too many more.”

We mourn the thousands who have been killed by violent, settler-colonial forces through 75 years of occupation and since the war in Gaza was declared. The systems perpetrating genocide in Gaza are inextricably linked to global patriarchy, white supremacy and colonialism. At APC, we are committed to addressing these historic systems of oppression to co-create a beloved healing community for all. Our struggles parallel theirs. Our dreams of collective healing, liberation and reconciliation parallel theirs.

Stop the genocide. Free Palestine!
