o my god!! I count 7 just from one family alone!! oh wait, they must have been ALL militants(sarcasm)!!
Hi Kim. I know you, don't I? Man, it's a small Earlham world.
I'm glad that you saw the article. That's great. I'm glad that it's the situation in Palestine is getting out to a new section of Portland and I'm really glad that they have been willing to publish it.
As to your questions, yes I am back in Portland (right now!) and I'd love to get together and talk with you. I have another PSE friend whose moving to Portland in September and really wants to hang out with other people who are active on this issue.
And yeah, I think that there are a lot of things that can be done over here. This was actully my second trip to Palestine and I've managed to be quite active while I've been at home, mainly because I've had a really good support network. I've been doing a lot of speaking about what I've seen - in fact, I get almost more invitations for presentations than I can actually do. There are also several different organizations in town that I've worked with - Sabeel and Americans United for Palestinian Human Rights, for example. And actually, there's something coming up very soon that we need some help with. We're bring a replica of the Wall to the annual Peace and Justice Fair in Vancouver WA. It's on Sept 16th, and we'll need a lot of help with it. We need people to help set up and take down the Wall and we're trying to have a mock checkpoint as well. So if you would like to dress up as a soldier or get harrassed as a Palestinian, please come and help us! Don't worry, the checkpoint is going to be low-key - not a lot of screaming and shouting and no getting into anyone's face who hasn't asked to be apart of it. I think we're going to do it a lot like the one they had at Earlham a few years ago. Any way, there's that oppertunity and others.
Thanks for writing, Kim! I'll give you my email address and we can get together some time : jubilus AT gmail DOT com Please write and we'll trade phone numbers.
