IJSN participated in the organizing of a Solidarity workshop exploring a redefining of solidarity toward a vision of joint struggles between the Palestinian struggle for liberation and the struggles of oppressed peoples within the United States. A proposal was adopted at the Conference’s Town Hall for moving this vision forward with strategic cross-movement discussions over the next several years in preparation for bringing this conversation to the US Social Forum in 2010.
Represented on the committee and in the workshop were organizers central to the Palestine Solidarity Committee active in the 80’s, as well as activists from labor and mass-based organizing efforts from around the country.
