SUMMARY:NO CHILD BEHIND BARS: LIVING RESISTANCE FROM THE US TO PALESTINE
DESCRIPTION:\n\nOn February 1\, JVP New Haven will be partnering with Tree 
 of Life to present a program “No Child Behind Bars: Living Resistance fr
 om the US to Palestine.”  The presentation will feature Ahed Tamimi*\,
  a charismatic and articulate 15 year old from the West Bank Palestinian v
 illage of Nabi Saleh\, who will discuss the brutal injustices to which she
  and others her age are subjected on a continuing daily basis.  Ahed wil
 l be joined by Amanda Weatherspoon\, a Unitarian Universalist minister and
  Black liberation activist from the Bay Area\, whose ministry is centered 
 on collective liberation and cross-movement solidarity between oppressed p
 eople.  Nadya Tannous\, a writer and organizer who has researched the de
 tention of Palestinian minors since 2013\, will join the two to provide ad
 ditional insight into the realities Palestinian minors face within the Isr
 aeli detention system.  \n\nIn addition to discussing the life of Palest
 inian children under Israeli occupation\, the presentation will show how t
 he struggle for human rights in Palestine is inextricably linked with the 
 struggle for Civil and Human Rights here in the U.S. \n\n* Ahed\, who was
  originally to appear in person\, has been denied a travel visa by the U.S
 . State Department\, so arrangements are being made to have her speak abou
 t the situation on the ground and share her story by video.\n\nThis presen
 tation is part of a three week\, 18 city US tour organized by Friends of S
 abeel (FOSNA).  FOSNA is part of Sabeel\, a movement initiated by Palest
 inian Christians\, which promotes theological\, moral and legal principles
  for peace in the Holy Land. \n\nFor more information contact Nina Stein:
