DESCRIPTION:For those who care about Human Rights, and their universal application, 
 this event will offer:\n\n* Historical context and first- hand updates 
 about the shifting realities in Palestine and Israel\n\n* Rationale for the 
 burgeoning campaign for boycotts and divestments in churches and 
 universities\n\n* Training on how to implement boycotts and divestment from 
 companies complicit in human rights violations\n\nThe event is designed for 
 all levels of knowledge and engagement in nonviolent struggle to end the 
 Israeli occupation of Palestine and the disenfranchisement of the 
 Palestinian people. This conference, based on the commitment of the church, 
 the university, and the community to truth and justice, is seeking to 
 answer the call from Palestinian civil society, the Black Lives Matter 
 movement, and the Palestinian Prisoners Solidarity Network for BDS to help 
 end their suffering and denial of basic human rights through nonviolent 
 actions of  Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions.  \n\nThrough plenary 
 lectures, workshops, direct action, and artistic performance, participants 
 can find answers to questions about how to end the illegal occupation of 
 Palestine and about connections to broader divestment from the prison- 
 military- weapons industrial complex. \n\nThis conference is open to all.  
 Whatever your background or expertise, you will find a place to learn, 
 grow, and network for others. \n\nFeaturing:\n\nOmar Barghouti: Cofounder
