Three Days DownProtect life. Pause profit.
EnglishالعربيةEspañol

A shared campaign. A peaceful choice.

Three days. Together, for Palestinian children.

Three Days Down is a peaceful, three-day pause in non-essential work and spending.

First we build enough support. Then a date and clear plan can be announced. Essential services and care continue.

No action date has been set. You decide whether and how you can safely take part.

Three Days Down — End the Suffering

A short campaign invitation to visit the website and pledge.

Carry it forward

Help the message travel

Share a poster. Play a song. Explain the idea in your own words. You do not need to represent an organisation or speak like an expert. A conversation between two people is where this campaign begins.

Why we are doing this

Food. Medicine. Safety.

Three Days Down seeks peaceful pressure on the Israeli government and military leadership, and on governments that enable their actions, to end Palestinian civilian suffering and secure food, water, aid and medical care.

We seek accountability for those who commit, order or enable abuses, including officials, military personnel and settlers who attack Palestinian families or forcibly take their land.

We reject antisemitism and all racism. Responsibility rests on actions, not religion or identity. Rejecting hatred never excuses abuses against Palestinians.

What we are asking for

How far can we go?

150 million is our global ambition.

At 20 million pledges, we begin discussing and proposing possible dates with organisations and unions, and organising towards a first three-day action. Pledging continues towards 150 million. Reaching this milestone does not automatically set a date: support, safety and preparation must guide the decision.

Care comes first

Hospitals, emergency services, essential supplies and caregiving keep going. If you cannot stop work or risk lost income, you can still help spread the message. No one should be pressured to take part.

An idea for all of us

This is meant to become a shared worldwide campaign, shaped and carried by the people and communities who choose to take part.

Who we are and why this began

Questions you might have

Do I have to stop work when I pledge?

No. A pledge shows support for the idea. When a date and plan are announced, you decide whether and how you can safely take part.

Will my name be public?

Only if you choose. A private pledge does not ask for your name. No email or phone number is requested.

Can I change my mind?

Yes. Save your private code when you pledge. It lets you check, change or remove your pledge. Keep it safe; we cannot automatically recover it.

What if 150 million is never reached?

We begin formal consultation, possible date proposals and preparation at 20 million recorded pledges. This process does not wait for growth to slow or for 150 million to become unreachable. Pledging continues towards that long-term ambition. Any action still needs an agreed plan, responsible organisers and a fresh choice to participate.
