Passover, Ramadan, and Easter remind us of the importance of the struggle for freedom. In Israel and Palestine we are facing frightening challenges to our freedoms.
Despite these threats, we remain dedicated to our mission. There is an element of miracle in the work that we do on the ground, both in Palestine and in Israel. No matter what the circumstances— no matter how much the powers that be try to prevent us from bringing our message of nonviolence and reconciliation— we will not give up hope.
We will continue with our work in schools. We will continue with our Parallel Narrative program, with our summer camp program, and with the powerful work of the Women’s Group.
Watch the video below to see our Wedded to Peace project, which was created by bereaved Jewish, Muslim, and Christian women together:
We will never kowtow to those who do not know the value of human life.
We reaffirm the sanctity of life and the need to safeguard human dignity and freedom for all.
But we cannot do this work alone. We need your support to continue making a real difference on the ground in Israel and Palestine.
We invite you to make a donation in honor of Ramadan, Passover or Easter. Your generosity will help us continue our important work and support the freedoms we all hold dear.
Thank you for your consideration and best wishes for a peaceful and compassionate holiday for all.
