3ezwa is a new association for justice in Germany and freedom in Palestine.
Emerging from the Berlin Legal Fund and founded in October 2024 by an alliance of pro-Palestinian activists and organizations, the association focuses on providing financial and legal support to people who experience repression because of their solidarity with Palestine.
The goals of 3ezwa are:
- to financially strengthen existing legal support structures in Germany,
- to simplify the paths to legal support,
- to offer free and easily accessible advice in three languages,
- to help cover fines and legal fees.
Long before October 7, 2023, German authorities pursued a policy of repression to intimidate and threaten the Palestine solidarity movement and migrant communities and to stifle any form of dissent against Germany’s Zionist reason of state.
The main task of 3ezwa will be to raise funds, support existing solidarity structures, facilitate access to legal aid and provide free and easily accessible counseling to all Palestine activists facing repression for their activism.
The aim of 3ezwa, together with the support of solidarity groups, is to strengthen the fundamental human rights under attack in Germany and to fight for the right to live in freedom and dignity in Palestine.
The name 3ezwa (زوةﻋ) describes a close group or community with which a person is deeply connected. When people talk about their 3ezwa, they refer to their family, friends and allies who stand by them, offer protection and support them in all challenges. 3ezwa embodies collective strength, solidarity and the certainty of not being alone.
