Creative Arts Therapists and Students Against Genocide

Welcome to CATS Against Genocide!

We are a group of diverse creative arts therapists and students who choose practices of care as our lifework on colonized Indigenous land.

We unequivocally oppose the genocide of the Palestinian people by the Israeli apartheid state, as we unequivocally oppose genocides everywhere, and actively support those resisting colonial violence in all the ways we can, from Turtle Island to Palestine.

We’re taking collective actions to organize and participate in mutual aid projects, institutional advocacy, and coalition/community building in support of the people of Palestine and communities experiencing genocides and colonial oppression.

Join us as we work together to build a better future.
