As we process all we witnessed from our recent journey to Palestine and Israel, we hold the profound power of those we met who refuse to give up the fight for a just peace, especially now. They showed us in new ways that the kind of hope that can help us press forward—and the kind of “pressing” that can produce hope—will only come when we take action together in the face of adversity. We carry the responsibility to stand in solidarity with those persisting against all odds, and we invite you to join in doing the same.

On March 13th, 2025, our community gathered online for a CollectiveED “Sacred Witness” tour debrief. The conversation featured four diverse participants of the tour—Weylin Lee, Sheila Weinberg, Hassan El-Tayyab, and Ariel Eckblad—who all shared reflections and next steps for action.
