DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us for the fourth installment of Rebuilding 
 Alliance's 'I Care About Peace' Series: Protect Al Aqaba's Land, Water, and 
 Future. \n\nThe small village of Al Aqaba, in the Northern Jordan Valley of 
 the West Bank, has long been a model of what peace can look like. But after 
 a new settler outpost was erected inside the village in April, 2026, and as 
 the Government of Israel plans the new "Crimson Thread Barrier", suddenly 
 the entire village is at risk.\n\nRebuilding Alliance's Advocacy Program 
 got its start in 2008 after the village kindergarten that RA built, along 
 with most homes, received demolition orders. Together with a great 
 attorney, the village's inspiring mayor Haj Sami, and the entire village's 
 steadfastness, Al Aqaba prevailed and remains standing.\n\nPlease join us 
 to learn more about Al Aqaba, the risks the village currently faces, and 
 how you can ask Congress to intervene to protect Al Aqaba families and 
 assure their right to remain on their land.\n\nGuest Speakers 
 include:\n\n-Mahmoud: Head of the Al Aqaba Village Council\n\n-Aya: a 
 recent college grad who works with children in Al Aqaba\n\n-Youth from Al 
 Aqaba Village\n\n____________________\n\nIn honor of International Peace 
 Day, Rebuilding Alliance annually brings Palestinian youth to Washington, 
 DC to speak directly with members of Congress about their hopes, 
 experiences, and visions for peace. This year, with the U.S. State 
 Department no longer issuing visas to Palestinians, we are bringing their 
 voices to you.\n\n Given the scale of the emergency facing communities 
 across Palestine— and the many stories that need to be heard— we are 
 launching a series of webinars leading up to International Peace Day. 
 Village by village, community by community, each installment will highlight 
 Palestinian youth, their visions for peace, and what you, as a constituent, 
 can do to help.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2026/09/17/18888598.php
