Every single student, scholar, and teacher in Gaza has been affected by the destruction of the education systems in Gaza. What can we do to help? Hear from Palestinian scholars Nour Hamad, Ahmed Maher Alghazali, and Majd Almishharawi about what we can do to rebuild the education systems in Gaza.
We have designed zines for several stories featured in Displaced in Gaza to further spread the stories of our contributors. We highly encourage you to print out these zines on regular printing paper and hand them out at rallies, speeches, teach-ins, your friendly local cafes, shops, libraries, and wherever else you may see fit.
In March, we invited guest speakers Ahmed Abofoul and Diana Buttu in a collective effort to comprehend the structural violence inherent in Israel's apartheid regime.
At a time when the whole world is witnessing the violence unfolding in Gaza, it is crucial that we understand the root causes of what is happening. Building on extensive research from several international human rights organizations that have clearly identified Israeli apartheid, this webinar will explain the role of apartheid in shaping this moment as well as provide ways to work to end it.
In September 2023, AFSC hosted an online conversation with AFSC staff in Gaza, Serena Awad and Firas Ramlawi, with special guest Issam Younis, Director General of Al Mezan Center for Human Rights in Gaza. Mr. Younis describes the permit regime in Gaza and how it impacts Palestinian fragmentation and exacerbates the "human-made" humanitarian crisis. AFSC staff share their work delivering humanitarian relief to families caring for elderly family members in Gaza. Listen to the recording here.

We need your help to further their message.
AFSC has partnered with an organization called Al-Wedad in Gaza, who have organized a group of young Gazans to share tweets, videos, memes, gifs and other messages over social media between 12:15pm and 2:15pm EST on Tuesday, July 18. Their goal is to give voice to people in Gaza, focusing on the impacts of the blockade on everyday life. Our goal is to help those messages be heard here in the U.S.
