Fundraising letter for my month in the West Bank
Dear Friends,
For the month of April I am planning to work with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. I also plan to do some work with Machsom Watch (the Israeli women’s group that monitors the checkpoints for human rights abuses), as well as to attend the two-day 5th annual Bi’lin Conference on Popular Resistance in late April. I want to share my plans with you because, as my friends and colleagues, you have been a source of support to me in the past. Given the seriousness of this endeavor, I’m asking for your help now.
The International Solidarity Movement (ISM) is a Palestinian-led movement committed to resisting the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land using nonviolent, direct-action methods and principles.
