Channel the passion and energy of working families, caregivers and advocates across the country to continue to push for the passage of a bill that includes three pillars of the care economy — child care, paid family and medical leave, and home and community-based services — that will support families and build a strong foundation for our economy. RSVP at https://act.domesticworkers.org/a/ccw-summit-feb2022?utm_campaign=careagenda&utm_medium=ndwasemail&utm_source=ea&emci=9bf4df6e-9f8e-ec11-a507-281878b83d8a&emdi=b678c1a3-fb90-ec11-a507-281878b83d8a&ceid=204641.

38] – Beth Schuman [beth@afcfp.org] on Wed., Feb. 23 at noon ET wants you to attend Determined to Stay: Life in the South Hebron Hills. This is a pressing discussion on life and resistance in the South Hebron Hills! Join an insightful and engaging conversation with community leaders and activists on the ground. Palestinian communities across the South Hebron Hills are struggling to stay on their land. Facing frequent, violent attacks perpetrated by settlers and a host of Israeli policies aimed at driving them off of their land, these communities endure severe hardship and state violence in an effort to resist displacement. In this ongoing struggle, joint nonviolence resistance has proved to be a key tool in supporting these families and enabling them to stay in their homes.  American Friends of Combatants for Peace Gili Getz will be joined by local community leaders to discuss the brutal reality of life across the South Hebron Hills and the importance of joint resistance.
