Dear Friend,

Solidarity takes many forms, and in recent months we have been pushing ourselves to expand what that looks like in practice.

Last Friday, Palestinian and Israeli activists marched together through Khan al-Ahmar to mark 59 years since the beginning of Israel's occupation in 1967. Organized alongside the Peace Partnership coalition, the march brought together people committed to challenging displacement, violence, and segregation through collective nonviolent action.

Khan al-Ahmar, a Bedouin community east of Jerusalem, has become one of the clearest symbols of the struggle against forced displacement in the occupied West Bank. Its residents have already been displaced multiple times since the 1950s and continue to live under the threat of demolition and expulsion. The community sits in the area designated for the planned E1 settlement expansion, a project that would further fragment Palestinian territory and deepen restrictions on freedom of movement.

As we marched, we spoke out against the ongoing displacement of Palestinian communities, escalating settler violence, and policies that undermine Palestinians' ability to remain on their land. We also affirmed a simple principle: security cannot be built through dispossession.
