Our first-ever event VIRTUAL Palestine Advocacy Days has concluded and was certainly our best and largest ever!
 
1️⃣ On Monday, September 14, at 1:30 pm EST, we held a closed training session with trainers from the NAACP, Jewish Voice for Peace Action, UNRWA USA, and Defense for Children International - Palestine. We also had current congressional staffers weigh in during the training.

2️⃣ On Tuesday, September 15, at 1:30 pm EST, we had the most exciting AMP Congressional Plenary to date. Six members of congress spoke: Reps. Betty McCollum, Rashida Tlaib, Donald M. Payne Jr., Debbie Dingell, Judy Chu, and André Carson. We also had amazing speakers on the plenary, including Dr. Hanan Ashrawi, Dr. Osama Abuirshaid, Dr. Hatem Bazian, Josh Ruebner, Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, Rasha Mubarak, and Salih Booker.
 
3️⃣ On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of that week, we conducted congressional meetings for participants who registered for the event. We had almost 150 congressional meetings, including over twenty meetings with Members of Congress themselves.
