Fridays @ 12:00 PM EDT

This fall, we are returning to our normal Action Hour schedule, meaning each Friday we'll meet for an hour joined by a special guest. If you haven't already, register to join our Action Hour for Palestine every Friday at noon ET/ 9 a.m. PT.  You'll get updates from Gaza, call Congress, and see new resources and upcoming events.

Please join us this Friday to hear from journalist Rami Khouri, who will speak with us about Israel’s escalating war on Lebanon and U.S. military action in the Middle East. 

Recent Israeli attacks in Lebanon and Syria have escalated tensions, pushing the region toward widespread conflict. The escalation stems directly from Israel's genocide in Gaza, which has killed over 42,000 Palestinians. You can read AFSC’s latest piece about escalation in the Middle East for more information. When the news is so full of violence and death, the Action Hour community provides me with some hope.

Updates from Gaza - In order to allow you to share Yousef’s updates from Gaza more easily with others, we’ve begun posting them on our Gaza Unlocked website. You can find the full update from our Friday call and the weeks before here.
