DESCRIPTION:Suggested donation: $5-$20 (no one turned away for lack of 
 funds!!)\n\nIfNotNow and Kehilla’s Middle East Peace Committee are stoked 
 for this conversation with Karen Isaacs and Daniel Roth about how they’re 
 working to end the Occupation through education and coalition-building. 
 \n\nKaren Isaacs and Daniel Roth founded the program Solidarity of Nations 
 - Achvat Amim to help young diaspora Jews engage with anti-Occupation work 
 on the ground in Jerusalem. Dedicated to the principle of 
 self-determination for all people — Achvat Amim offers young activists a 
 way to find their place in the struggle for freedom and dignity for both 
 Palestinians and Israelis. \n\nUntil recently, Achvat Amim received funding 
 from Masa Israel Journey (an organization funded by the Jewish Agency). But 
 after recent pressure from the far-right-wing organization Ad Kan, Masa 
 Israel withdrew its funding, further silencing the voices of 
 anti-Occupation Jews. But we know the stakes are too high to stand idly by 
 now: not as Palestinians live the nightmare of the Occupation daily, and 
 not as Israelis face the horrors of upholding it. \n\nKaren and Daniel are 
 on the road to raise emergency funds and talk about their work, and we’re 
 really excited to host them, and take up the mantle of leadership Masa has 
 dropped in this important moment. \n\nAnd we have so much to talk about 
 with them, because Karen + Daniel (partners in life + activism) are way 
 more than co-founders of Achvat Amim. They co-founded All That's Left: 
 Anti-Occupation Collective and This is Not an Ulpan, and were crucial 
 actors in the coalition of Palestinians, Israelis, and diaspora Jews behind 
 the صمود : مخيم الحريه Sumud: Freedom Camp צֻמוּד: 
 מחנה חירות.\n\nLet’s hang and snack as we hear what’s up with 
 these amazing organizers, how they’re responding to right-wing attacks, 
 and how coalition building can make the movement to end the Occupation — 
 and to build a just peace — more diverse and powerful than it’s ever 
 been before.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2017/10/27/18803986.php
