ONGOING ACTIONS


Building a Bridge from Tampa Bay to Palestine 

Local activist, Bettejo Indelicato, is living in the West Bank for 3 months with the International Women's Peace Service. IWPS is an international team of women based in Haris (a village in the Salfit Governorate of the West Bank) who provide international accompaniment to Palestinian civilians, document and nonviolently intervene in human rights abuses, and support acts of nonviolent resistance to end the brutal and illegal military Occupation and oppose the Apartheid Wall. Bettejo traveled to Palestine in early January. While there she is sending regular updates about life under Occupation in the West Bank and she will offer presentations when she returns in April.

Bettejo also lived in Baghdad for 5 months during the US led war against Iraq.

You can check out her journals from Palestine and Irag here.
