At the 2023 Annual Meeting, the Alliance body adopted a Statement on Israel and Palestine. For several months before adopting the statement, JPI gathered a list of resources (articles, videos, and videos) and offered informational sessions to help inform our body. This list of resources was shared by the JPI community in the spring of this year. We offer them to you now in response to our recent reflection on the violence in Palestine and Israel.

Abolition and Liberation, a dialogue between American activist Dr. Angela Davis and Palestinian activist Jamal Juma’. “An international discussion of the connections between Black Lives Matter calls to defund the police and abolish the prison industrial complex, and Palestinian calls to tear down all apartheid walls and free Palestine.” This dialogue lifts up the intersectionality of liberation movements.
