Kumi Now

Despite the many reasons for hopelessness, Sabeel, inspired by Palestinian liberation theology and in particular a Bible study on Mark 5:21-43, feels that giving up as a people on the margins is not an option.

In partnership with this broad network of support,  the Kumi project is founded on these three values:

1. inclusivity: everyone is welcome to join the movement.
2. justice: based on international law, ending the occupation (including Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem), the right of return, and equal rights for all citizens of Israel.
3. nonviolent resistance: a commitment to using nonviolence as the only form of resistance.

With these principles in mind, each week following the initial launch date, the Kumi project will highlight a different organization working to raise awareness about specific issues in Israel-Palestine, provide information about a specific issue of injustice through the stories of those effected, and promote a creative nonviolent advocacy action. Our goal is to raise awareness on Palestine and exert pressure on the powerful decision makers of the world to do what is right in order to end the occupation  in order to build a just peace.
