The US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR), formerly known as the US Campaign to End Israeli Occupation,[1] is a pro-Palestinian advocacy group advocating for the rights of Palestinians.[1][2][3][4] The organization was founded in 2001 after the second Intifada and is now made up of more than 300 member groups in the US working for Palestinian advocacy.[2] USCPR was created with the goal to focus on "denied human rights" instead of focusing explicitly on Palestinian statehood.[2]
