Palestine Solidarity Project
Thinking of Coming to Palestine? Thinking of Coming to Palestine? The Palestine Solidarity Project offers a *unique opportunity* for activists from around the world to have an integrated, educational experience as they work in solidarity with a Palestinian organization in their struggle for liberation. PSP is based in Beit Ommar, a village in the southern West Bank *What We Believe* PSP believes that the struggle against Israeli Occupation can and *must* be led by Palestinians themselves. Internationals are needed on the ground, but in a supporting capacity, rather than an organizing one. Our role is to learn from and support the Palestinian struggle, and then use our personal experiences to raise awareness of the situation and implement action in our *Our Goal* Our goal is for every international to leave Palestine with the *Our Structure* PSP is made up of a committee of Palestinians that works closely with a variety of other community groups and individuals in Beit Ommar and the surrounding villages. We also have an international coordinator, an American who has spent over two years in Beit Ommar and 5 years working in Palestine and is here to show new international volunteers the ropes. As of April, 2009, *two of our founding members are in Israeli prisons*, held *Previous Experience* PSP is great for people who have never been to Palestine before and those who may have worked extensively in Palestine and are looking for an organization that will allow them to work more closely with a single Palestinian community. *What We Are Looking For* PSP is looking for flexible, open-minded, energetic people of all backgrounds. In order to work in Palestine with us you must be willing to adhere to local customs and traditions, even if they are not what you are accustomed to or necessarily agree with. People can participate at all different levels: teaching, participating in demonstrations, writing, video editing, the list goes on. We are always looking for Arabic speakers, and *What You’ll Be Doing* Palestine Solidarity Project has three main tracts of work: 1) Organizing and supporting *non-violent direct action* and All of these tracts need support from international volunteers. Whether you’re interested in going to demonstrations or teaching English to future human rights observers; removing roadblocks or videotaping others doing it, you can find a way to fit in. We do a lot of writing, videotaping and photographing. **We are also implementing a program for *educating internationals*: PLEASE NOTE: We do not create popular resistance in Palestine. We are accountable to Palestinian communities and are responsive to the “temperature” at the time. Things can change very quickly in Palestine so if you are expecting direct action every week, you may be disappointed. Likewise, please remember that no matter how many precautions you take, internationals in PSP are often expected to intervene in violent situations; it is not the organization for adventure tourism. We have a long-term vision: build the capacity of Palestinians to organize and advocate for themselves and creating a network of accountable international supporters who are willing to work in their own countries If this sounds like the organization for you, Please see our website for more detailed information about how to join us |
