In May 2022, following years of legal challenges brought by Palestinian residents, the Israeli High Court approved the forced eviction of the Palestinian villages of Jinba, al Fakhit, Halaweh, Mirkez, Tabban, Maghayir al Abeed, and Isfey in the Masafer Yatta area of the West Bank. These evictions will displace over 1,000 Palestinians, more than half of them children.
Brynne Crockett is excited to be continuing her work with the AFSC family as the Director of the Healing Justice Program in the Twin Cities. She has been doing youth work since she was a youth herself. Community building is important to her and helping young people navigate through it is her passion. She has used her artistic talents to uplift the voices and stories of the young people she has encountered during this journey through music and organizing. Having mentorship at a young age helped cultivate her talents and shape her insight on community, so being able to mentor and provide the same services for youth and staff is important to her.
