Today is prisoners' day in Palestine. Everyone from the Galilee to the Negev and from Jericho to Rafah remembers the sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of political prisoners held over the years and stands in solidarity with the thousands still held. It is a special prisoners' day because many of our prisoners are on hunger strike today and because many are joined by hunger strike of visitors who are imprisoned simply because they declared they wanted to visit us in our large prison in the West Bank. Nearly fifty prisoners, most of them from France are in Givon Prison and are joining the hunger strike in solidarity with our prisoners and also to demand they be allowed to visit us in Bethlehem as part of the Welcome to Palestine Campaign.
Welcome to Palestine (WTP) Campaign invites you to a conference on Friday April 20, 2 - 8 PM at the Peace Center in Bethlehem. The conference is to take stock of our story, our successes and to mobilize for future actions. We will show a brief film (Roadmap to Apartheid) then discuss together strategies and tactics of popular resistance including:
-Brief history of popular resistance
-Solidarity campaigns such as WTP (with report from one of the participants on their experiences)
-Media tools including social networking,
-Boycotts Divestment and Sanctions
-Right to Enter
-Mobilizing youth and women
-Role of Israeli activists
-Unifying and simplifying our message
The conference main languages will be Arabic and English. The WTP2012 campaign is already several hundred dollars in debt and we would appreciate your consideration of donating at the door to defray our costs including the use of the Peace Center, the banners, copying etc. All are invited and no one will be turned away if they cannot afford to donate. We can also use more volunteers.
Space is limited to 150 participants so please register early by sending an email to media@palestinejn.org with your name and contact information.

Israel will not stand idly by as thousands of activists prepare to arrive on Sunday; it will not miss an opportunity to look ridiculous in the eyes of the world
