Welcome to the new Kumi Now calendar! As we worked with more and more organizations and activists, it became clear that we should focus each week on an issue and connect with multiple organizations during that week.

As the new entries are posted to the website we will link to each entry from here so that this becomes a full-time reference work on issues related to the occupation of Palestine.

If you would like to reference the old calendar it is here.
