Sumoud (steadfastness in Arabic), is a political prisoner solidarity group established by a group of activists in Toronto, Canada. They campaign primarily around Palestinian political prisoners being held by Israel, of which there are approximately 8000 currently behind bars. They also take up the imprisonment of indigenous, immigrant and racialized people in North America, as well as the role of the prison industrial complex in criminalizing poverty and political resistance. Central in their approach is an understanding of the illegitimacy of the prison as an institution in itself and the need for its abolition.
