You've been added to the update list for this delegation. We'll send out more details as we have them. Below is more information on the delegation. We expect to have substantial financial aid available to help participants travel.

People of Color Delegation: July 16 - 29, 2016

Leaders: TBD

This delegation is aimed at furthering connections between Palestine justice issues and domestic US issues of racism, repression, and incarceration. The program provides an intentional space for individuals to examine questions of race and ethnicity within the context of Palestine/Israel. Participants will travel in Israel/Palestine for two weeks and meet with members of Palestinian and Israeli civil society, human rights organizations, grassroots activists and others. 

Delegation participants come from a variety of backgrounds and movements - Civil, Indigenous & Immigrant Rights, Black Power, South African anti-apartheid and anti-racist organizing - a diversity that enables rich and multi-dimensional group learning.

By creating an opportunity to explore present or past connections between struggles that communities of color face in Palestine/Israel and the US, we hope to strengthen the work for global justice.

DEADLINE TO APPLY: Please apply by April 1, 2016 to ensure we’ll have space, have funding, and be able to arrange your flight.  Our last several delegations have filled up several months before departure, so please apply as soon as possible to reserve your space.  If you’ve missed the deadline, we might still be able to add you, but please contact us ASAP to see if this is a possibility.

Logistics

The cost of the delegation will be $2500. This includes 13 days of the delegation, hotel and home stay accommodations, breakfasts and dinners, local transportation, guides, speaker/event fees, basic tips and gratuities.

Funding is available. Apply for more details!

The cost does not include domestic and international airfare. Interfaith Peace-Builders works with a local travel agent in Jerusalem to secure the best group rates for the delegation to travel together on the same flight from Washington, DC to Israel/Palestine. Therefore, delegates do not need to book their own international airfare.

Delegates will be expected make arrangements to be in Washington DC by 2pm on July 16.
