We've joined 150+ NGOs to demand a #ceasefireNOW in Lebanon, Gaza, Israel, and the region. We also call for an end to the impunity that has allowed atrocities by Israeli forces against civilians to continue and escalate. #StopSendingArms Read more: https://bit.ly/48lDLwg

Today, American Friends Service Committee's Salama Hub and Brot für die Welt launched "Horn of Africa Advocacy Strategy for Peace and Stability (ASPS)". This new initiative seeks to address instability in Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, Sudan, and South Sudan from 2023 to 2033. “The five pillars of the strategy of the ASPS offers a robust framework to tackle systemic challenges across eastern and Horn of Africa, from peacebuilding to trauma healing and reconciliation, inclusion, governance, climate and environmental justice." said Moses Chasieh, MSc, Director, Salama Hub (AFSC) Read more about the initiative: https://lnkd.in/efc3KbA9

A wonderful opportunity to work with AFSC as the Asia Regional Director, based in Phnom Penh! I speak from experience when I say this is one of the most interesting, satisfying and rewarding positions you may come across. Please share, and I look forward to working with you! Don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions. https://lnkd.in/deKuaTsE

American Immigration Council's Welcome Week messaging is spot on: inviting, engaging, and above the vitriol of our national conversation on immigration. Next week, the American Friends Service Committee will be unveiling a new national paid media campaign sharing our own research-backed messages, welcoming newcomers and treating everyone with dignity, no matter when or how someone migrated to the U.S. Thrilled that so many groups are broadcasting values-forward messages of love and hope: https://lnkd.in/eeq_iKBv

We are thrilled to be part of International Peace Day 2024 in Jinan, China! Here’s a moment with AFSC staff, Kennedy Akolo, Lucy Roberts, Austin Headrick and Mr. An Yuejun, General Secretary of Chinese People’s Association for Peace and Disarmament (CPAPD). Through our participation, we're striving toward a shared vision for a just, peaceful, and sustainable world free of violence, inequality, and oppression.

Big divestment win at SF State, supported by American Friends Service Committee: "Noam Perry, who works with activists leading divestment campaigns as part of his role at the American Friends Service Committee, acted as a de facto translator between San Francisco State students and university officials this summer. He said one place where the work group made progress was by identifying specific investments held in separately managed accounts, an investment vehicle tailored to the university."  https://lnkd.in/esfnmf3c

My thoughts on why we should pay attention to What Students Mean When They Demand Divestment, and Why We Should Listen https://lnkd.in/eCeJq6ZG. #Divestment #apartheid #ceasefire #gaza
