EYEWITNESS PALESTINE & INTERFAITH PEACE-BUILDERS, Zoom
July 30 @ 1:00 pm
Thurs July 30, 1 pm Pacific time, Zoom
Fellowship of Reconciliation – USA (FOR-USA) presents a Gathering Voices session with Nancy Mansour, Executive Director of Eyewitness Palestine; Joe Groves, coordinator of FOR’s Interfaith Peace-Builders (IFPB) program from which Eyewitness Palestine evolved into its own independent organization; and Georgia 42nd District Rep. Gabriel Sanchez.
Joe will first discuss the origins and evolution of FOR’s IFPB program into Eyewitness Palestine, and how it was designed to send delegations to Israel/Palestine to bear witness, learn and promote nonviolent solutions, while focusing on educating U.S. citizens through on-the-ground experiences of Palestinian life under occupation and apartheid. Nancy, as the Executive Director of Eyewitness Palestine, will then discuss recent delegations to the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, as well as powerful and impactful delegations planned for the future. The program will culminate with reflections by Rep. Sanchez on his experiences during a recent Eyewitness Palestine delegation and how that has impacted his policymaking in Georgia and beyond.
