A Cultural Movement
Born from the passion of Palestinians living in Aotearoa
AL-Salam Alaikum,
السلام عليكم,
Nau Mai, Harae Mai,
and Welcome to PYA
OUR MISSION مهمتنا
Our mission is clear - to be the stewards of Palestinian culture on a global stage. Through a myriad of cultural initiatives, we aim to preserve and celebrate the rich tapestry of traditions that define Palestine. From culinary explorations to artistic expressions, PYA invites you to join us on a journey of discovery.
LEARN ABOUT PALESTINE
Educate yourself about the history of Palestine, its people and its culture, including the last 76 years of occupation and dispossession, and the current genocide happening in Gaza. Use our resources page to find out where to find accurate sources of information.
GET INVOLVED
Many people in our society feel helpless and that their voice or their actions can’t possibly make a difference. The opposite is true however - every voice is important, every action impactful.
There are many ways you can join the Free Palestine movement in Aotearoa and take action to stand up for humanity.
EVENTS
We hold rallies, vigils, zoom seminars, workshops, snap actions and cultural events to honour and celebrate the Palestinian culture.
See galleries from our previous events and find out about any upcoming events.
BOYCOTT, DIVEST, SANCTIONS
The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement works to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law. Learn more about the movement and how you can take part.
GRANT THE VISAS
See our campaign targeted at the New Zealand Government, asking them to #GranttheVisas for our Palestinian whānau currently trapped in Gaza.
