Dear Email, Have you booked yourself a ticket for this year’s AMP convention? America’s political landscape is being noticeably altered by momentum for a Free Palestine. Major companies are taking steps to divest from Israeli settler-colonialism, and world-renowned writers are refusing to work with Israeli publishers. We’re witnessing firsthand how more Members of Congress are recognizing and even advocating for Palestinian rights. Boycotts and divestments are working and political pressure is intensifying. This is the time to gather and organize with thousands of others to be a part of the movement for Palestinian liberation. Now, more than ever, we must engage with the broader community and build power toward our collective goal. We’re getting closer to our 14th Annual Convention for Palestine in the US this Thanksgiving weekend in Chicago, IL. If you haven’t bought your tickets yet, now is a great time to plan your trip. |

We have two major announcements for this year’s convention. 1. AMP invites high school students (from ages 13-18) to take part in this year's Youth Competition, run by AMP-Chicago's youth group "Yalla Shabab." Tell us about your experience as a teenager and being a part of the Palestinian Diaspora. This competition will have three categories: - Poetry/spoken word
- Art/painting/picture
- Video/short film/documentary
Participants can compete in one or more categories, and the winners will receive prizes! Click here to sign-up and learn more. If you know students who might be interested, please share this with them. 2. College Students! Be on the lookout for the Campus Activism Track (CAT) - a special session for college activists who are passionate about Palestine and want their voices heard. This year’s intensive series of workshops titled “Campus Activism: The Future is in Your Hands” will equip college activists with tools, resources, and the network needed to successfully fight for Palestinian rights on campus. Visit our website here to get your CAT tickets and find out about our special offer. |
