United StatesThe Palestine Solidarity Movement (PSM) announces that its fifth annual
conference will be held February 17th through 19th at Georgetown
University
in Washington, DC. The annual conference comes to Georgetown's campus,
which
possesses a Catholic and Jesuit identity, on the heels of a series of bold
initiatives taken by the decision-making bodies of various Christian
denominations to consider the use of divestment as a tactic to
non-violently
influence a just resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The event
will be hosted by Georgetown University's Students for Justice in
Palestine
(GU-SJP) on behalf of PSM, a coalition of North American organizations
dedicated to implementing divestment and boycott strategies as a component
of human rights activism in order to realize both equality and justice for
all people residing within Israel/Palestine.
