US Campaign for Palestinian Rights — national advocacy network
Founded in 2001 as the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, USCPR is a national network providing resources and strategic support to the U.S.-based Palestine solidarity movement, with a focus on ending U.S. military funding to Israel.
The US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) is a national network of activists and organizations working to change U.S. policy toward Palestine. Founded in 2001 as the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation and renamed in 2016, it provides resources, training, and strategic support to the U.S.-based Palestine solidarity movement, working with local organizers, policymakers, movement leaders, media, and advocacy organizations.
USCPR’s central demand is an end to U.S. military funding to Israel; its interactive military funding map tracks how federal tax dollars from each U.S. community flow to Israel’s military. The organization also supports boycott, divestment, and sanctions campaigns, publishes toolkits and policy analysis for activists, and defends the right to advocate for Palestinian rights in the United States. In 2023 it launched USCPR Action, a 501(c)(4) arm that endorses political candidates and engages directly in legislative advocacy.

- Sustained focus on U.S. complicity — military aid, diplomatic cover, and corporate involvement — rather than on the conflict in the abstract.
- Practical organizing resources, from divestment toolkits to congressional advocacy guides, freely available online.
