Let's make tech a driving force for Palestinian freedom and liberation

Technology should disrupt the status quo — not serve it.

For decades, the narrative about Palestine has been shaped by selective historical accounts and an occupying force that restricts access to the reality of on the ground.

The community at Tech for Palestine is shifting the conversation towards equality and justice, by cultivating a garden of projects and services that shut down genocidal speech, enable people to speak up for Palestinian freedom, scale Palestinian activism with technology, and cultivate fierce advocates for Palestine within the Tech community.

Who we are

Tech for Palestine isn’t a company, an NGO, or an incubator. We’re a loose coalition of tech folks working towards Palestinian freedom by using our tech skills to support our morals.

What started as a collection of community projects has grown into a unified collective of volunteers that mentors, supports, and builds community via tech in support of a free Palestine.

We believe that:

  • We can build a better society, including a sovereign Palestine and a tech industry that enables equal human rights and acts as a vehicle for positive systemic change.

  • We can leverage technology, processes, and experiences to maximize our impact and effect change through our resources, networks, and expertise.

What we do

We empower a global community of skilled tech professionals to unite in their unwavering support of Palestine so that we can:

  • Disrupt conventional narratives

  • Capture systems of power

  • Accelerate pro-Palestinian organizing and public awareness efforts, both online and off


What we want

  • A more ethical tech industry that works to abolish the conditions for authoritarianism, surveillance, occupation, and apartheid in favor of those that promote justice, equality, and human rights.

  • To draw on decades of pro-Palestinian advocacy while building the T4P community. We humbly learn from the wider community and contribute to it in aim of the main goal of liberation for Palestine.

  • To be a catalyst for the reformed tech industry, aimed at abolishing apartheid and promoting human empowerment and development.


How we work

  • We connect project leaders to communities of volunteers

  • We mentor, provide office hours, and support start-up projects aimed at ending apartheid, minimizing media bias, encouraging boycotts, and more

  • We create a community of pro-Palestinian techies to get involved in causes they believe in and help Palestinians get hired
