As our community members travel to Palestine as volunteers in different ways\, we host events that allow them to share their eyewitness accounts and experiences. Our events allow communities to process their grief and remember the collective sense of humanity that happens when we create together and speak out together.  Learn more: Soul Of My Soul Exhibit
