Many of our clergy and lay leaders long to be in solidarity with the people of Palestine in a time of heightened violence, occupation, and devastation, but may feel isolated or uncertain how to engage these issues in their contexts or in the public sphere.

This year, at General Synod, UCC Movement for Palestinian Solidarity is offering a workshop aimed at addressing the above challenges. This workshop will be a relational space to weave people together to pray, reflect, network, and commit to action to be in solidarity with our Palestinian partners in this time of ongoing struggle. It would call us to living into our UCC resolutions, offer a mix of pastoral care and connection, and invite people into engagement that could include: joining a UCC MPS Solidarity Circle, connecting with others in their area for shared action, participation in a justice campaign, education, and equipping people for bold public witness. 

In addition to this workshop, UCC Movement for Palestinian Solidarity will be present at Synod in a number of other ways, including our booth in the exhibit hall where you can find lots of amazing resources, swag, and opportunities for action.

We hope you can join us at General Synod 35!
