THE PLEDGE
In solidarity with the people of Palestine and to support our colleagues in Palestine who work under these extreme circumstances, we pledge:
- to “do no harm,” refusing to lend our support to activities that explicitly or implicitly normalize the occupation and justify Israel’s role in it
- to support and, where possible, to participate in acts of witnessing, documenting, and researching the experiences of the Palestinian people
- to support initiatives encouraging our professional groups and organizations to take a moral stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine
The Mental Health Workers’ Pledge for Palestine was composed in 2015 and has been signed by over 1100 mental health workers and professionals around the world.
