This coalition was born out of conversations at the historic Highlander Folk School with a group of allied organizations dreaming of the future of their collective liberation and a free Palestine. Together, organizers realized we were all thinking the same thing: that we need to join domestic and international justice work under one umbrella. To do this, our work has to center diaspora, refugee, veteran, Black, Indigenous, and non-white communities who bear the brunt of this country’s militarism AND to challenge the myth that more police, wars and weapons have made any of us more safe or secure. |
