Hi SAYMA Friends, 

Thanks Nancy for letting  us all know about the event.    Very timely
considering all the uproar about the UN Membership vote for Palestine in
UNESCO.    

I wanted to make it clear that this conference also includes Jewish
presenters who believe in non violence and at least one Quaker( who also
does J ) .   Small Group Workshops are being led by  Maia Halllard Carter
who is a Quaker  and  by Ilise Cohen, whom many of you have met with she
worked for the AFSC SERO Middle East Peace Education Program and who is the
granddaughter of the founder of the only Sephardic Synagogue in Atlanta. 

Here is a list of speakers and some idea of the cost.

We have been involved with Friends of Sabeel for many years.  This should be
an excellent and inspiring conference.  I know Atlanta is a ways from you,
but tell your friends about it.

 There are many parallels between the Palestinians and the Civil Rights
movement.

Thinking of you,

Alice and Ron
