About

Palestine Legal is a civil rights organization providing legal support to individuals and groups advocating for Palestinian rights in the US. The group's request numbers have increased significantly since 2023, with over 1,131 requests in 2025, surpassing pre-2023 levels by 300%. This surge in requests coincides with heightened pressure on pro-Palestine advocacy, particularly at universities, and allegations of antisemitism linked to criticism of Israel. The organization's efforts to defend free speech and provide legal aid have been notable in recent court cases, which have resulted in setbacks for attempts to shut down pro-Palestinian speech. As tensions around Palestine continue to rise, Palestine Legal remains a crucial resource for those seeking to exercise their rights to free expression and advocacy.
