Join Virtual Delegation to Palestine Tomorrow!
Register for webinar with Fayruz Sharqawi.
Dear Chris,
Earlier this week, Israel banned human rights supporters from traveling with an interfaith delegation to Palestine. While five were banned, the rest of the delegation is currently on the ground meeting Palestinians and learning about their lives under Israeli occupation and apartheid.
Join us on Sunday, July 30 from 2pm-3pm Eastern for the first Virtual Delegation Webinar for a taste of the #JustFaith17 delegation experience. Register here!
The webinar includes:
• A briefing from the front lines of Jerusalem with Fayruz Sharqawi of Grassroots Jerusalem
• An update from the delegates who Israel prohibited from traveling
• A chance to hear from the delegation on the ground.
Israel has for decades banned millions of Palestinian refugees from returning home as well as denied entry to and displaced countless more Palestinians, tearing families apart and destroying livelihoods. And it is routine for Israel to ethnically and religiously profile Arab and Muslim visitors too, something I experienced directly last summer.
This latest case of activists being banned seems to be an escalation in Israel’s attempt to shut down organizing for Palestinian rights, particularly BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanctions). We need to not only fight for our right to boycott, but also continue to push ahead with our campaigns in support of freedom, justice, and equality to amplify the resistance of Palestinians to settler colonialism and ethnic cleansing for 100 years.
Please join us tomorrow to hear more about what is happening in Jerusalem, share this alert, and invite your friends to the webinar via Facebook.
