I am very excited about leading another delegation to Palestine in 2026 with Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center (Sabeel). This will be another opportunity for folks to gain depth and texture to their Palestinian activism by hearing from and getting to know Palestinian siblings. This is also an opportunity for people to engage in resistance tourism by supporting Palestinian businesses that have suffered from the lack of tourism since October 7, 2023.
While plans are in the very early stages (and things can change rapidly, as we know), this delegation will meet with schools of various levels, libraries, archivists, educators, historians, and other organizations that will help us understand what it means to live under occupation.

Plans for this delegation are still in process. If you are interested in being notified when informational meetings are scheduled and plans are being solidified, please fill out the interest form, and I will be in touch as plans are made.
Peace,
