As a challenging year comes to a close, we are faced with ongoing devastation and the emergence of new challenges. We end the year without a ceasefire, with a horrific humanitarian crisis in Gaza, unreturned hostages, the deepening occupation in the West Bank, and the rise of extremist leadership in multiple countries, including the US. The need for global solidarity and the work toward collective liberation has never been clearer.

On December 17th, we hosted the final CollectiveED event of 2024, featuring Palestinian co-founder Souli Khatib, Israeli co-founder Avner Wishnitzer, Iranian-Swiss B8 of Hope founder Mehra Rimer, and AFCFP Executive Director Tiffany Goodwin-Van Camp.

Another Way Forward: Co-Creating Amid Catastrophe
Tuesday, December 17th
1pm ET / 8pm Jerusalem

The conversation explored our interconnectedness and offered inspiration for action toward a future where all people are safe and free. Souli and Avner shared lessons from CfP over the past year on how to adapt, persevere, and remain steadfast in collective action through adversity. Mehra, born in Iran and having emigrated to Switzerland during the Iranian Revolution, offered her unique perspective as a global advocate and international organizer for peace and justice.

We gathered to reflect, hold space, draw strength, and commit to one another for the year ahead. Thank you to everyone who joined us in this important conversation.
