Study & Action for Palestine
from ceasefire to liberation ... what would it take?
Online Course & Learning Community
held and hosted by White Awake
~✵~
FACILITATORS: Eleanor Hancock & Chris Crass
GUEST TEACHERS: Huwaida Arraf, Rabbi Alissa Wise, Sumaya Awad, Kohenet Jen Kiok & Andrew Kadi
Study & Action for Palestine is an online course and learning community for anyone who is committed to a free Palestine and the well-being of all people, everywhere.
The program consists of extensive study materials, six live sessions (live attendance not mandatory) and an ongoing focus on action. We are honored to be joined by an amazing roster of guest teachers, and we encourage participants to join the program with others they know.
This program begins in two weeks. Background reading and the first homework assignment are currently posted - so this is a great time to join and get started with the course! If you are already registered, you may consider passing the course flyer along to others you know.
We have at least one group so far that is going to use the recordings, every other week, to take the course together at a time when their members are available. This course is designed to be a strong support to folks who are already in relationship with one another, and/or taking action together. Likewise, the course itself can be a good place to build community as well, given the interactive nature of the participant interface we are using for this program.

Study & Action for Palestine begins March 4th!
