About
The Narrow Bridge to Deir al-Balah Collective is partnering with community members in Deir al-Balah to build relationships of sustained support with people surviving attempted genocide in Gaza. We also connect with anyone fundraising with Palestinian families to support us all in resisting individualism and isolation, offer a place for building camaraderie, growing together, and learning best practices to become more effective.
