Take Action: House to Vote on Resolution and Make Statements on Israel’s 60th Anniversary On April 22, the House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on H.Con.Res.322, “recognizing the 60th Anniversary of the founding of the modern State of Israel and reaffirming the bonds of close friendship and cooperation between the United States and Israel.” In addition, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has reserved time each week through June for Representatives to make statements on the floor of Congress on the occasion of Israel's 60th anniversary.

NEW SECTION Black America and Palestine Writers, poets and artists speak to a shared experience in the struggle for justice. This web page is dedicated to both building new and strengthening existing bridges between Black Americans and the Arab World. This site does not romanticize this relationship, nor does it represent an attempt to gloss over contradictions that have existed either between Black Americans and Arabs (including Arab Americans), or contradictions within the Arab world that concern matters of race. Rather, the site aims to be a repository of information and a medium of exchange between two peoples that have suffered historically as a result of various forms of national oppression, colonialism and racism.
