Sabeel Groups and Contacts
Given your active engagement in Friends of Sabeel North America, we invite you to join the FOSNA Activist Network (FAN)! The FOSNA Activist Network is a powerful force of individual FOSNA activists throughout North America. FAN members work with diverse local groups, coalitions, and allies within their community on BDS campaigns and other nonviolent advocacy efforts to end the occupation of Palestine. FAN‘s purpose is to increase the efficacy of our work by providing stronger communication between FOSNA activists: It includes a new, action-oriented listserv and video conference calls held three times a year. Need more information? Check out our FAQs or e-mail us at fancoordinator@fosna.org.
Sabeel groups in the United States are made up of volunteers working within their communities to promote Sabeel’s vision of justice, peace, and reconciliation; to develop Christian support for Palestinian Christians and all the people of Palestine and Israel; and to encourage participation in Sabeel events, regional conferences, local groups, and international witness trips.
