Recommendations for year-end actions for Palestine

Bethlehem
Recommendations for year-end actions
1) Join and/or publicize events in Palestine this coming week and beyond: Shepherds Nights Festival 23-25 December, and the Program for International Activists in the West Bank from 22-27 December 2010
2) Donate to worthy organizations that do great work on the ground in Palestine. Two suggested organizations that I believe in (among many):
   - Al-Rowwad Cultural and Theater Society in Aida Refugee Camp or click here
  - Palestinian Center for Rapprochement Between People and its International Middle East Media Center
    Both have tax deductible vehicles in Europe and North America, email me or the directors if you want details.  But also email me to let me know you donated.  We really appreciate it.
3) Get a 2011 calendar from Badil
4) There are 50 other ways to act for peace with justice

I will also urge my political representatives to speak out for Palestinian freedom from Israeli occupation." http://www.cleveland.com/opinion/index.ssf/2010/12/o_little_town_of_bethlehem_ali.html
