In the face of far right and settler violence, we act to protect vulnerable communities and prevent harm.

Over the past year, our Solidarity Guard has organized dozens of actions involving hundreds of activists. We established a protective presence network that operates 24/7 alongside Palestinian communities in the West Bank. We organized hundreds of volunteers to assist Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest — when settler violence makes venturing to agricultural areas dangerous. We show up at high-risk events within Israel
 to document and deescalate.

Day after day, we went to Silwan in East Jerusalem to stand with Palestinian residents against the threat of home demolitions and to act against violence in the neighborhood. We stood by the residents of the Old City on the notoriously violent Jerusalem Day and protected bus drivers from violent rioters.
