Possibility Labs’ mission is to support the economic approaches that help marginalized communities build viable livelihoods with dignity. We are compelled to address the stark reality that Palestinians face today: the economic limitations from the blockades coupled with the unconscionable levels of violence and denial of basic human rights amidst a humanitarian disaster undermine the very foundations of self-determination.

Another world is possible, and advocating for the self-determination of all peoples, free from oppression, demands our utmost attention.

With the compounding devastation that has come since October 7th, we grieve the horrific violence suffered by both Palestinian and Israeli communities, which has resulted in the deaths of over 20,000 people and the subsequent rise in anti-Palestinian, Islamophobic, anti-Jewish, and anti-Semitic rhetoric and hate crimes that have further exacerbated the deep wounds across the diasporas.

While the humanitarian truce was a brief reprieve and demands for a ceasefire continue, the fact still remains: it is impossible to live any kind of self-sustaining life in occupied Palestine.

Possibility Labs’ mission is to support the economic approaches that help marginalized communities build viable livelihoods with dignity. We are compelled to address the stark reality that Palestinians face today: the economic limitations from the blockades coupled with the unconscionable levels of violence and denial of basic human rights amidst a humanitarian disaster undermine the very foundations of self-determination. 

If people cannot freely shape their own destiny and participate in their own governance, then the existing system is oppressive and must be uprooted so that all people can thrive. 

In heeding the call from Palestinians to center their decades-long struggle for liberation, we stand firmly in solidarity for the self-determination of all Palestinians, and thus call for a permanent ceasefire, to secure the safety of all civilians and hostages, and to end Israel’s occupation of Palestine. 

As a social justice intermediary at the nexus of movement builders and funders, we also remain focused on what we’re best positioned to do—to provide nimble infrastructure that facilitates rapid-response funding for organizations building solidarity across religion and race, safeguarding human and civil rights, and strengthening equitable media justice. 

For values-aligned funders interested in directing resources, Possibility Labs is equipped to sponsor fiscal initiatives or host impact-forward Donor Advised Funds to streamline the flow of philanthropic capital to vital organizations that are engaged in this work, including those below: 

Likewise, for US-based power-building organizations and movement leaders, Possibility Labs offers fiscal sponsorship to help secure crucial grants that are essential for on-the-ground initiatives. While we can only support limited international grantmaking at this time, we are monitoring the evolving landscape to learn what capacities are needed to provide international support.

We hope to be one of many voices in the forthcoming and bellowing choir of change that will move the dominant narrative in the direction of justice. For the price of silence is far greater. 

To a world where all people are free. 

In solidarity, 

Possibility Labs
