Your drink on Thursday supports art installations, activities, cultural performances, & educational booths which helps CPSC & SJP UC create a safer space for kids to be heard, seen, & joyful while we confront the realities they face with honesty, dignity, & solidarity. Every contribution goes directly toward creating a welcoming space rooted in justice & collective care for people of all ages.
This year, our event will be raising funds for our friends at PALSHIELD. PALSHIELD is a humanitarian initiative focused on supporting vulnerable Palestinian communities facing ongoing threats to their safety & livelihoods. Working through trusted local partners & village councils, PALSHIELD provides essential protective equipment, emergency supplies, & coordination support to help Palestinian families remain safe & resilient in their homes. The initiative emphasizes practical, community-driven solutions that strengthen local capacity while maintaining accountability & discretion. PALSHIELD will used the funds in their mission to support Palestinian Farmers in the 2026 Olive Harvest.
“For Palestinian families in the West Bank, the olive harvest is the economic backbone of rural life – primary income, cultural continuity, land connection. UN experts declared 2024 the “most dangerous olive season ever” for Palestinian farmers. October 2025 was the single highest month of settler violence since OCHA began documenting in 2006. That is why these funds are so important. Specifically, the funds will be used for Protective Presence, Harvest Support, Infrastructure Kits, & Documentation.
Honor International Children’s Day by helping us put on an event that centers Palestinian children & children everywhere living under occupation, displacement, & war.
If we're able to meet our goal ahead of our event, all funds raised will be directed to PALSHIELD!
Thanks to Urban Artifact for hosting us!
