COUNTERCLOCK is committed to PACBI, or the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel. We stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine and encourage our readers to engage in material action and commit to ongoing solidarity with Palestinians as they face siege and genocide. Israel has kidnapped and killed Palestinian poets and writers, bombed libraries and universities, and much more—all American literary arts organizations should be speaking up. Learn more about the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel here.
