Join us September 21-23, 2012 for our 11th Annual National Organizers' Conference at St. Louis University.

Our conference is an opportunity for our member groups and activists from across the country to come together and strengthen our efforts to end U.S. support for Israeli occupation and apartheid policies toward Palestinians. With nearly 400 groups part of our coalition, this year's conference will be a great opportunity for networking and strategizing around BDS, opposing U.S. military aid to Israel, and changing U.S. policy to support human rights, international law, and equality. We hope you will be able to join us!

We will start the conference at 7:00pm on Friday, September 21 with a panel discussion on the Arab uprisings and their impact on organizing to change U.S. policy toward Palestine/Israel. Our speakers will include Dr. Hatem Bazian, Chairman of American Muslims for Palestine, and Phyllis Bennis, Director of the New Internationalism Project at the Institute for Policy Studies.

Our Saturday night session will feature a performance by Palestinian-American poet and activist Remi Kanazi, author of Poetic Injustice: Writings on Resistance and Palestine. 

The weekend's program will include panels and workshops discussing:

Engaging Faith Communities
Consumer Boycotts
Campus Activism
Academic and Cultural Boycott Initiatives
Organizing and Coalition Building
Connecting Palestine to Other Movements
Long Range Strategic Planning for the US Campaign
