About SJP

University of Denver Students for Justice in Palestine aims to raise campus awareness of the occupation of Palestine as well as all race and ethnic based oppression within Israeli society.

​

We promote justice, human rights, liberation and self-determination for the Palestinian People. We recognize that specific solutions to the occupation must be negotiated by Palestinians, a voice often silenced by international dialog and by the Israeli Government and Military.

​

We, however, hold that any solution must incorporate the following principals as established by the 2005 call from Palestinian Civil Society:

​
 

1. The End of the occupation and colonization of all Arab lands and dismantling      of the Wall

​

2. The Recognition of the fundamental rights of the Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality; and
 

3. Respect, protection and promotion of the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN resolution 194.

 

 

We welcome all students, faculty, staff, and community members to join us in our mission.
