We’re calling on our elected officials in Maplewood and South Orange to pass Ceasefire Resolutions. Read the full text of the Ceasefire Resolutions and sign the petition.

We’re advocating for a return of all hostages, an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, prompt humanitarian aid, and a free Palestine

SOMA Collective for Palestine is a coalition of individuals and groups including more than 90 Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, Jews, and allies who live in South Orange and Maplewood NJ. We advocate in our towns and the NJ-11 congressional district, hold weekly vigils, and produce educational events, teach-ins, cultural events, and more. We’re proud members of local, district-wide, and New Jersey-wide groups to call for a ceasefire, a return of all hostages and political prisoners, humanitarian aid, and to advocate for a free Palestine.
