We are Friends of Al-Aqsa (FOA)

We are a UK-based NGO demanding political change for Palestine and we won't stop until this happens!

We’ve been at the forefront of campaigning for Palestine for 25 years and we’re proud to be the most-followed anti-apartheid organisation in the UK. Our work is led by volunteers and based on international law and UN resolutions. 

Some of the things we do:

  • BDS – we run effective campaigns to raise awareness, build support and implement change

  • Palestine in Parliament – we work with MPs, councillors and policy makers so they can make better decisions for Palestine

  • Events - we have hosted over 1000 events for people to learn and get active for Palestine, including Palestine Expo

  • Educational material - we have distributed over 4 million pieces of literature to the British public 

  • Students – we support and encourage students on campuses across the country to get active for Palestine

#TeamFOA is for anyone who cares about equality and justice in Palestine and wants to stand up against Israel’s illegal occupation and apartheid regime.

Join #TeamFOA today and help protect Palestinian rights.
