Palestinians call on all people of conscience, 'Come visit Palestine this Christmas'

Palestinian civil society organizations and peace and human rights defenders and activists on the ground call on civil society organizations and people of conscience around the world to come to Palestine between December 22-28 for a week of fellowship and actions centered around Jerusalem. Palestinians throughout historic Palestine and in exile still believe in and work for peace based upon justice and trust that with the help of the international community we will achieve our peace and freedom and restore the values and principles that we share as human beings.

We invite you. We call upon you. Join us and be the change you want to see in this world.

Come join us this Christmas season as we pray and act for peace with justice in Jerusalem. We believe in nonviolence as a way of life and an absolute powerful means of resistance. We believe in International Law and Human Rights. We believe that every single one of us is a change maker, and nobody has the right to say I can't do anything. You will be accommodated locally and enjoy Palestinian hospitality and a full program of peace work, networking, and fellowship.

Local activist groups in Europe, North America, Latin America, and other parts of the world are organizing delegations. Email us at info@palestinejn.org if you would like to be connected to the organizing group in your country.
