Keep Hope Alive, the annual Olive Tree Campaign of the Joint Advocacy Initiative of the East Jerusalem YMCA and the YWCA of Palestine, is an important avenue for congregations and individuals to engage in providing support for Global Ministries’ Palestinian partners, especially critical in this time of Israel’s unrelenting and escalating violence. This year’s week of solidarity and education, October 21-25, offers a variety of resources, programs, and advocacy opportunities, including a webinar, “Our Economic Leverage,” on the subject of boycotting companies that support Israel’s occupation and investing instead in solidarity with our Palestinian partners. To register for the webinar, at noon ET, Weds., Oct. 23, go here. To learn more about the schedule for the week, go to the Global Ministries’ website here.
