About The Event
June 2017 marks 50 year of the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, an occupation which threatens the security of Israel and imposes harsh burdens on the Palestinian people. Hosted by Churches for Middle East Peace June 4th-6th, “50 Years Too Long” is an advocacy summit for American Christians to gather, learn, and advocate for constructive ways to pursue a just and sustainable peace in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt). Participants will learn how to advocate for an end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza and put that learning into practice by visiting government representatives to promote a solution that advances security and self-determination for Israelis and Palestinians.
On Monday, June 5th at 3:15-4:30pm Lisa Sharon Harper will speak with others on a panel, Domestic Activism: Intersectionality with U.S. Based Movements.
