4th Annual National Organizers' Conference, Atlanta, GA, July 29-August 1
co-sponsored by GSU Students for Peace and Justice and Middle East Peace Education Program, AFSC-Southeast
Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia
The US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation is proud to announce its 4th Annual National Organizers Conference, July 29-August 1, 2005 at Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA. Please join us for an exciting weekend of networking and strategizing to end US support for the Israeli occupation.
On the ground, the Israeli occupation continues to maintain a stranglehold on Palestinian life as the Wall continues to grow and West Bank Israeli settlements expand under the shadow of the unilateral Gaza “withdrawal,” dispossessing thousands more Palestinians of their land and livelihoods. However, we have also seen many exciting and encouraging developments in the last year, such as the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion on the illegality of Israel’s Wall and the many divestment resolutions that have been considered and even passed in churches, city councils, and on university campuses. Let’s keep the ball rolling!
Drawing on input from our membership, and from our experience with developing the last two national organizers’ conferences, we have created a conference agenda that gives you more opportunities to strategize and network with each other, and have minimized long lectures and panel presentations. Our goals for this conference are:
