Hi everyone, My name is Katie O’Neill (Aaliyah) I’m from England. In August 2025, I was dismissed from my job at a nursery because of short TikTok-style videos I shared on my private social media, expressing a pro-Palestinian stance against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. These posts opposed the atrocities taking place, including the killing of thousands of innocent people, many of them children. My position was humanitarian in essence, rooted in the belief that every child, everywhere, deserves safety, peace, and dignity, and that those responsible must be stopped and held accountable.
I am now challenging this dismissal through legal action and need your support.
Caring for children is not just a job to me; it is part of who I am. As a nursery worker, my duty has always been to protect, nurture, and advocate for children’s safety. Taking a moral stance against genocide aligns naturally with that duty and with the values of compassion and justice I uphold every day in my work.
But speaking up for humanity has cost me my livelihood. Now I am fighting back, not just for myself, and not only for those who stand with Palestine, but for everyone’s right to express their conscience and stand against injustice without fear.
This case is about:
- Freedom of speech protecting all of us, no matter our views, from being silenced.
- Normalising support for Palestine kids in UK institutions, so justice and solidarity are no longer treated as risks.
- Opposing genocide and injustice ensuring that calling for peace and defending children’s lives is never punished.
- Building a strong, safe, and cohesive community where everyone can stand for justice without fear.
⚖️ Winning this fight would mean:
- Justice for everyone who has ever been silenced for speaking truth.
- Safety for workers and communities to express themselves freely.
- A clear message: defending humanity is never a crime.
This GoFundMe will cover the legal costs of challenging my dismissal, including solicitors and all necessary legal expenses. Every contribution, no matter how small, is a step toward to justice, not only for me but for everyone who values freedom, peace, and human dignity.
Transparency & Accountability
I want to be fully transparent with everyone supporting this cause. All funds raised will go directly toward legal costs and expenses related to the case. I will provide regular updates at every stage of the process, so contributors know exactly how their support is being used.
Thank you for standing with me in solidarity. Together, we can turn this into a victory for justice, free speech, and humanity.
