Campaigning for Palestinian rights during lockdown

Sami Awad, the organisation’s founder and ex-director, is a leading voice in Palestinian nonviolent activism. Elias D’eis brings decades of experience working with communities across the West Bank.
In this webinar, they ask how supporters in the UK should focus their efforts during this unprecedented time, when traditional solidarity work had to adapt to a world in lockdown.
