They will speak of their personal experiences mobilizing their communities to nonviolently resist Israeli violence and discrimination. Largely unreported by the media, thousands of Palestinians and hundreds of Israelis wage a grassroots, nonviolent campaign of resistance to Israel's apartheid system of military occupation and discrimination against Palestinians.
