Week 23: Environmental Effects of Occupation Online Gathering

On Tuesday, June 8 we learned about the environmental effects of occupation. Our guest was Daoud Nassar from Tent of Nations.

More about our guest:

Daoud Nassar runs Tent of Nations. The farm has been in Daoud Nassar’s family since 1916 when his grandfather purchased the land known as Dahers’ Vineyard. The farm is now surrounded by the Gush Etzion settlement bloc.

You can find Tent of Nations on the website (http://www.tentofnations.org) and follow them on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/tentofnations), Twitter (https://twitter.com/TentOfNations), and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/tentofnations/).

Kumi Action: Help the Palestine Museum of Natural History

The Palestine Museum of Natural History does amazing work, and deserves your support. Help it out by doing one (or more!) of the following:

• Run a quick fundraising drive and send a contribution to the museum at https://www.palestinenature.org/donations/.
• The Palestine Museum of Natural History is very close to well- known tourist destinations such as Rachel’s Tomb and Banksy’s Walled-Off Hotel. But it receives much less traffic. If you or someone you know is planning to visit Palestine, and specifically Bethlehem, add the museum to your itinerary: https://goo.gl/ maps/qGyw9wwYSoL2
• And if you aren’t planning such a visit, you can help others find it. Contact a local travel agent or tour company and provide information on the Palestine Museum of Natural History. Alternately, promote it online on a site like TripAdvisor.

Share news of your donation or advocacy for the museum on social media. Include a link to this page of the Kumi Now website along with the hashtags #KumiNow and #Kumi23.

Additional action: Help share Tent of Nations
