I decided to apply for RCPI program because I wanted the opportunity to further my knowledge about community organizing and developing new strategies to solidarity between struggling and diverse groups in Israel/ Palestine.

My project is called: “The Revolution in Every Heart: Historical memory and Transformative Co-resistance”

The project consists of creating a modular framework for a community organizing training, designed for grassroots leaders to adjust and lead within their struggling communities, covering organizing and community-building skills while focusing on recovering communities’ forgotten histories through archiving and research, thus facilitating intersectional solidarity and analysis of structural violence.
