Locally we were specifically invited by SJP because we have been leaders in Palestine organizing here for years, since well before 10/7. Since 10/7 that's only become even more entrenched and we are seen as the only non Palestinian/Jewish org with a serious role in the movement.
I would imagine it's the same for most branches because that's the standard MO of the party. We were organizing Palestine rallies and educational events for years, and that meant Palestinians trusted us before the current crisis began.
