Mission Statement

Students Allied for Freedom and Equality is a group of student activists organized to promote social justice, human rights, liberation, equality, and self-determination for the Palestinian people as the fundamental principles for a just resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Code of Conduct

SAFE will only engage in peaceful and constructive actions. SAFE rejects actions that violate the guiding principles as stated above, including those taken by members. Individuals or groups acting as members, representatives, or sponsors of SAFE agree to abide by the code of conduct and endorse the principles of the organization.

Guiding Principles

As an advocacy group, SAFE is committed to a core set of principles grounded in international law, human rights, and basic standards of justice. These include but are not limited to the following:

1. The end of confiscation of all Palestinian lands and the return of and/or compensation for all previously confiscated lands to their original owners.

2. The end of the Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, as asserted by United Nations Resolution 242 and grounded in the impermissibility of the acquisition of land by war.

3. An end to the Israeli system of occupation and discrimination against the Palestinians, via granting citizenship rights to all peoples under Israeli civil or military control and the reform of Israeli policies, within Israel proper, to ensure equal benefits, treatment, and rights for all citizens, regardless of race or religion.

4. The implementation of the right of return and/or reparation for all Palestinian refugees as stipulated by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Resolution 194.

5. An end to the construction of illegal settlement and transfer of Israeli citizens into the Golan Heights, Gaza Strip, and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as stipulated by the Fourth Geneva Convention.

Just as SAFE condemns the racism and discrimination resulting from Israeli policies and laws, SAFE rejects any form of hatred or discrimination against any religious, racial, or ethnic group. SAFE supports oppressed and exploited peoples in their struggles for freedom and basic human and civil rights. SAFE welcomes individuals of all ethnic and religious backgrounds to join in solidarity with the struggle for justice and peace in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
