Arab Spring in Palestine: Palestinian Youth and International Solidarity

Compassionate and knowledgeable, international activist Jeff Pickert will address Israel's repression of Palestinian youth, strategy and effectiveness of Palestinian’s popular resistance, and hope for the future. Pickert, 22, has lived, worked and studied in Palestine’s occupied West Bank including refugee camps and villages struggling against Israel’s illegal apartheid wall and settlements. He has been an activist since age 14 when he helped organize his grammar school against the U.S. war on Iraq. Since then has worked against the US prison industrial complex and with Food Not Bombs and Students for a Democratic Society. FMI: 916-448-7157; sacpeace [at] dcn.org
