"Our 2025 year-end report shows that while universities have largely cowered and caved to coercive pressure from the Trump administration and its pro-Israel supporters, student activists for Palestinian and collective freedom remain a model of moral conviction and courage."
"Even when facing punitive consequences for speaking out, they are holding the line of dissent against injustice from the US to Palestine, because they understand the cost of surrender for all of us."
In 2025, Palestine Legal received 1,131 requests for legal support related to pro-Palestine advocacy, indicating persistent activism despite pressure from the Trump administration. This figure, while lower than the record 2,184 requests in 2024, still represents a 300 percent increase from 2022. The majority of requests came from university students and faculty, with a notable rise in immigration and border-related inquiries. Dima Khalidi emphasized the courage of student activists in continuing their advocacy against injustice, despite facing punitive consequences.
