How to Help


1) Stay informed. Join our listserv today.

2) Organize events about the HLF case, the Material Support Law and CMU’s. Invite family members of the Holy Land Five to speak at your event.

4) Reach out to influential national and international organizations and individuals, seeking their support, which would assist in eliciting public pressure.

5) Distribute the HLF Packet.

6) Donate to the Free the Holy Land Five campaign. You can donate towards legal fees here.

7) If you are an artist, create something—a poem, a song, a graphic, a film, etc.— that would help raise awareness about the case.

8) Send a letter to the Holy Land Five.

In general, it is good to avoid sending things like stickers or staples or paper clips. Three or four sheets of paper are not a problem and often political material does get through. It is good to write your address on at least one of the letters since sometimes envelopes are delivered, and sometimes just the contents. Put a return address on the envelope too though.
