Groups and Organizations
There are many groups and organizations throughout the United States that are concerned with Palestinian affairs, including the occupation. Many of these groups and organizations of course are activist-oriented, but they also provide a wonderful opportunity to meet and interact with Palestinian people as well as others who are deeply knowledgeable about life in Palestine. If you would like to continue your explorations and understanding of the Palestinian experience in a more personal and interactive way, such groups and organizations offer some of the best opportunities.
Again, there are too many groups and organizations to list here, but to get started, I recommend you get in touch with the large umbrella group, The US Campaign to End the Occupation (www.endtheoccupation.org) which provides an extensive listing of such groups in the U.S. If for any reason, you can’t find an appropriate group near you, Anna Baltzer has advised me that you can write her at anna.baltzer@gmail.com and she will do her best to help you find one.
