One Israeli and one Palestinian cry together for peace

Originally published in USA Today

The Parents Circle is the club nobody wants to belong to. Rami Elhanan and Bassam Aramin, co-directors of the club, advocate for peace between Israelis and Palestinians after both lost their young daughters to the violence that has embroiled their region for decades.

These members won’t give up on peace.

We hope you’ll join them. Your gift supports their work across the U.S.
