After decades in which the justice of the Palestinian struggle against Zionist colonization has been recognized by the international community, after decades of chasing after the chimera of a \u201ctwo-state solution,\u201d and after decades of asserting Palestinian rights with no viable political expression, the time for an effective campaign of decolonization and liberation is now, and it is urgent. Every day the Israeli government, aided by the international community, imposes draconian and irreversible \u201cfacts on the ground,\u201d locking the country\u2019s majority population, the Palestinians, into tiny, impoverished enclaves, perpetuating as well the exile of half the Palestinian population. A democratic state in historic Palestine is no utopia if we organize around a just political program, organize, strategize and effectively mobilize our forces, the global grassroots, the international civil society &#8212; you. We call on you to join our One Democratic State Campaign and help us build it into an effective anti-colonial, liberation movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further information, contact us at &lt;contact@onestatecampaign.org&gt;. Much work still needs to be done to flesh out our program. We understand that we all will not agree on every issue, but our task in this historic moment is clear: armed with a clear and compelling political program, we need to fully enter the political arena. We call on the entire international community, and especially civil society, to support our Call for a democratic state in historic Palestine. The time has come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is in this spirit of solidarity, as part of a process of liberation, that we are reaching out to you to join us, beginning by endorsing our program. The struggle goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In solidarity,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-4\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Awad Abdel Fattah,
