Where do we go from here? This event, featuring two dedicated individuals who will talk about their experiences working with youth living under Occupation and Apartheid. They will provide their visions of what a just future for these youth and their communities will look like and will provide inspiration of what we can do here, in the U.S., to organize and work for peace AND justice in Israel/Palestine. Ziad Abbas, journalist and community organizer, is a recognized leader in his community and traveled throughout the world, as a representative and advocate for the rights of his people, bringing special attention to the issue of Right of Return for Palestinian refugees. Nora Barrows-Friedman has gained international recognition as an investigative journalist, focusing specifically on issues in the Middle East.
