Moriah Nonviolent Action in Hebron
Donation protected
Hi. My name is Moriah Ella and I am excited to have been accepted to the Center for Jewish Nonviolence's summer delegation in Hebron.
The Center for Jewish Nonviolence is dedicated to using nonviolent action to bring an end to the Israeli Occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza. By working with local Palestinian and Israeli activists, the CJNV affirms the shared humanity and equality of Israelis and Palestinians.
This summer our delegation in Hebron will be participating in a variety of solidarity actions, including infrastructure development, agricultural projects, sit-ins, and marches.
It's vitally important that Jews, Israelis, and Palestinians come together to defend the Palestinian residents of Hebron's rights to gather, to move about Hebron, and to sustain themselves economically.
The CJNV has very graciously offered me a $500 scholarship, but I still need to raise an additional $2400 by June 1st to make my participation in the delegation possible. The money raised will be used to pay for my flight, lodging, meals, and local transportation.
Traveling to Israel/Palestine and participating in on-the-ground solidarity means a lot to me. Over the past four years I have been working with groups like Jewish Voice for Peace and the Muslim Jewish Conference to confront Islamophobia and support Palestinian nonviolent resistance. I have organized and participated in divestment campaigns, speaking tours, rallies and memorials, film screenings, workshops, and more. Having direct experiences of the Occupation and building relationships with activists in Hebron and at the Center for Jewish Nonviolence will enhance my abilities as an organizer when I return to Pittsburgh and continue my work with Jewish Voice for Peace and others here.
Part of my agreement with CJNV is that after returning from Hebron I will be publishing blogs and articles about what I saw and experienced. I will also be speaking at venues in Pittsburgh about the delegation anywhere that will have me. (so if you have an organization - a church, a synagogue, a reading group, a few friends who would like to here about my experience please let me know).
I truly appreciate any contribution you can make to this campaign. Thank you!
