The Coalition for Jerusalem is a league of religious dignitaries, political factions, civil society organizations, and individuals based in Occupied Jerusalem. It is a non violent, direct action group formed in 2004 to oppose Israeli Government arbitrary measures to alter the Status of Jerusalem in violation of International Legitimacy and Human Rights Conventions, and to work towards establishing occupied Jerusalem as the Capital of the future Palestinian State.
The Coalition is currently actively involved in lobbying and advocacy targeting the international community to rectify this injustice. Currently the coalition is working on:
- Jewish colonization of the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.
- Home demolitions in Jerusalem including: in Silwan, Mount of Olives, Ras el Amod , Ras Khames, Shuffat and Beit Hanina.
- Colonization of Alesawya, Zaaim, Ezaria and Abu dees land, known as the E1 project.
- Land confiscation in Jerusalem including in Al Mokaber.
- Impact of the Separation wall on the political, economic and social life in Jerusalem.
