Since 2015, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) has organized an annual Palestine Advocacy Day and Training weekend to educate students, community activists, and organizers - young and old - on civic engagement and policy work exclusively on the issue of Palestine.
Hosted by Americans for Justice in Palestine Action (AJP Action), a new 501(c)(4) affiliate organization of AMP, Palestine Advocacy Days will be virtual this year, so you can now register and participate in VPAD from the comfort of your home.
AJP Action fiercely and unapologetically lobbies for Palestinian rights. The Palestinian people are systematically oppressed by Israeli settler-colonialism, apartheid, and military occupation. They are denied their right to self-determination through Israel’s separate and unequal regime.
We have a special obligation to lobby for Palestinian rights as people living in the United States because it is our government that provides Israel with nearly unconditional and unlimited diplomatic and military support to entrench Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people.
As a new 501(c)(4) organization, AJP Action will work in a boundless capacity to oppose legislation and policy that furthers Israeli oppression, and to support legislation and policy that upholds and advances Palestinian rights. And, in the near future, we’ll be endorsing candidates for office who stand with the Palestinian people to achieve their rights.
In previous years, this event was hosted by AMP, and AJP Action is grateful for a generous grant from AMP to enable it to organize the event this year.
Monday, September 27 | 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM EST
