Community Project: Postcarding for Voter Turnout
October - November 2024
Thank you to everyone who participated in the CSJ initiative to send voter encouragement postcards to contested districts in the country! We had 25 students and 1 faculty member participate, and altogether they sent out 2,300 postcards!! About half of the participants purchased their own stamps, so they contributed not just time but money too - and two very generous students donated actual cash to fund other students' ability to send postcards! Thanks to all who joined together in this effort.
CSJ PResents: Beyond the Frontlines
Weds July 31 | 1-3pm PT / 4-6pm ET
Beyond the Frontlines follows Palestinian psychiatrist Samah Jabr, who provides insight into how the occupation of Palestine is an occupation of the mind, where mental health is exacerbated by the conditions of occupation. Palestinians share their experiences of occupation and sumud, or steadfastness. This is a two hour documentary and will be followed by an optional 30 minute discussion. If you've been wanting to gain a deeper understanding of the history and context of occupied Palestine, or be in a space where Palestinian voice and experience is centered, please join us.
