U.S. Palestine Activism Program/ Legacies of 9.11/ Action Hour for Palestine

Activism Program

As the school year begins in the United States, take a few minutes to learn from Arwa Alzraiy, a teacher and PhD candidate in Peace Education from Gaza. In July, Yousef interviewed Arwa on the Action Hour, and her testimony about her life as a student, researcher, and teacher in Gaza is haunting. Arwa shares about her experiences as a teacher before and during the genocide, Israeli restrictions on Palestinian education and grief, and how she's come to redefine what peace education means to her. It's a must read.

Legacies of 9/11

On Sept. 11's Action Hour, hear from Darakshan Raja and Amy Gottlieb about threats to civil liberties 25 years after 9/11. Darakshan is the founding executive director of Muslims for Just Futures, which deploys a divest, contest, and reinvest framework to address the impacts of Islamophobia and the War on Terror. Amy is AFSC's U.S. Migration Director where she works to ensure that migrants’ rights are respected in all circumstances.
