Black Alliance for Peace urges Spain to grant Fergie Chambers asylum
November 12, 2026. The U.S. government supplies Israel with weapons and diplomatic protection as it carries out genocide in Gaza. Domestically, the same government is moving to criminalize political opposition. These are related exercises of state power. One sustains the violence abroad. The other makes it more dangerous for people in the United States to organize against their own government’s role in that violence.
The Trump administration’s National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7) directs federal agencies to coordinate investigations under the banner of countering domestic terrorism and organized political violence. It draws on investigative and prosecutorial powers that successive Democratic and Republican administrations have built. When those powers are brought to bear in a political climate in which solidarity with Palestine is treated as a security threat, we have serious concerns about the fairness of any judicial proceedings Fergie Chambers would face in the U.S. We urge Spanish authorities to weigh those concerns as they consider the U.S. extradition request, and refuse to cave in to the pressure the U.S. is surely exerting against a sovereign nation as it moves to act on its attacks on the left.
The public opposition to the genocide in Gaza, to the policies of Trump and Netanyahu, and to the Zionist political forces that sustain Israel’s assault has been made visible in the streets across the world. Those who have organized against the genocide are carrying out a responsibility that belongs to individuals and states alike. No state should criminalize people for acting on that responsibility. A government complicit in genocide, as the U.S. is through its military and diplomatic support for Israel, compounds its own wrongdoing when it uses state power to punish those who oppose it.
The Black Alliance for Peace joins the November 13-14 International Day of Action. We implore the Spanish authorities to grant Fergie Chambers asylum and to refuse to lend Spain’s institutions to the political persecution of people who stand with Palestine and oppose genocide.
Solidarity is not a crime! Grant Fergie asylum now!

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 13, Call Spain’s Delegation to the UN to Say: Free Pro-Palestine Activist Fergie Chambers! Grant Him Political Asylum!
On November 13, the Audiencia Nacional, the high court of Spain, will have a hearing on whether pro-Palestine activist and philanthropist James "Fergie" Chambers should be extradited to the US to face bogus charges of riot, conspiracy to riot, and international money laundering. We condemn the extradition attempts and say that this is a case of political repression against a valuable supporter of Palestine. We are urging all to dial into Spain's delegation to the UN in DC on Nov 13 to demand that he be freed and granted political asylum.
Chambers stood by Palestine for many years now and has taken part in protests after October 7th as the genocide went into full swing. He has donated significant funds to do things like open free clinics and pay medical bills for people whose lives have been ripped apart by Israel. Trump's DOJ now wants to trample his civil liberties and throw him in jail, when in reality he did nothing wrong.
The US government wants to criminalize international solidarity, free speech, and any support for Palestine. Even money for free medical clinics is being labeled as funding for terrorism, if the patients in the hospitals are Palestinian. What happens next to Fergie can happen to anyone of us unless we stand up and defend our right to be in the pro-Palestine movement.
We ask anyone who supports the right to express international solidarity to join us for a National Day of Action on Friday, November 13. We will call the office of Spain's delegation to the UN in DC, and demand political asylum for Fergie Chambers in Spain and his immediate release.
Find the call-in information below:
When: Nov 13, Friday
Who: Permanent Mission of Spain to the United Nations, in DC @ +1 202-332-0315
Script: "My name is [NAME] and I am calling today to demand that Spain's government give political asylum to James "Fergie" Chambers. He should not be extradited to the US to face false charges. Protesting for Palestine and donating to Palestine is not a crime. We stand by Fergie Chambers and we demand that he be freed immediately."
If you are able to call in Spanish:
"Soy [NAME/NOMBRE] y hoy estoy llamando a exigir que el gobierno de España conceda asilo político a James "Fergie" Chambers. No debería ser extraditado a los Estado Unidos para enfrentarse a cargos falsos. Protestar por o donar a Palestina no debe ser un delito. Apoyamos a Fergie Chambers y exigimos que sea liberado ahora."
