Palestine Justice Coalition (formerly Palestine Israel Action Committee) is a group of local Jewish, Arab and other activists that meet and organize each month at the Resource Center for Nonviolence. PJC sponsors speakers, hosts cultural and educational events, and mobilizes public opinion for a political settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. PIAC co-organized a major Justice for Palestine conference with Friends of Sabeel North America in 2016, and supports Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions of companies and entities that enable the suppression of Palestinian rights, occupation of Palestinian people, and prevention of sovereignty for Palestinians. A focus now is Hewlett-Packard, which makes technology to profile Palestinians and assist in preventing free travel for work, hospital, education and family in East Jerusalem, the West Bank, Gaza, Golan Heights, and Israel.

Mission Statement
Mission Statement:
The Palestine Justice Coalition (PJC) works through education, advocacy, and action for justice, equality, and lasting peace for Palestinians and Israelis based on human rights, international law, and relevant UN resolutions.
Position Statement:
In support of Palestinian self-determination, we oppose US military, diplomatic, financial, corporate, and all other contributions to Israel’s occupation and apartheid policies. We support Palestinian civil society’s call for boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it complies with international law and universal principles of human rights.
We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle to end all forms of Israeli occupation, including military, legal, economic, cultural, and political oppression. We respect and promote the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes as stipulated in UN Resolution 194. We insist that Israel recognize and implement the full equality of Palestinian Citizens of Israel.
We oppose Islamophobia, all forms of racism, and any expressions of bigotry directed at any person or group. We stand opposed to anti-Semitism in all forms: Thus we reject the charge of anti-Semitism when used spuriously to silence legitimate criticism of Israel’s policies and practices.
