Dear Email, It's right around the corner! ONLY 15 days separate us from the largest gathering for Palestine in the U.S. We are witnessing a historical moment in our Palestinian movement where the trajectory is shifting towards greater support for Palestinian rights in Congress, mainstream and social media, and the American public opinion. If you haven't registered yet, now is the best time! We invite you all to be part of history in the making and to be vanguards for Palestine and Palestinian rights. Watch this year's Palestine Convention trailer to see how things are changing and what you can do today! |
