For decades, AFSC has worked to realize a just and lasting peace in Palestine and Israel.
Our U.S.-based Palestine Activism Program provides resources, mentorship, and training to activists in the U.S. We also lead national educational and advocacy campaigns, engage directly with decision-makers, and build connections between communities in the U.S. and Palestine.
Guided by the Quaker belief in the divine light of each person, AFSC works with people of all faiths and backgrounds to challenge unjust systems and promote lasting peace.
