Saturday, March 13, 2010. Nine people in the KC area working for Palestinian rights. In recognition of the determined example they provide, I would like to share with you nine people that inspired me in 2009. Each one demonstrates important characteristics of social justice actors, namely, each focused on their cause with a dedication to broad social justice, some with direct experience or relations with those experiencing injustice, all important characteristics of grassroots leadership.

Citizen Voices: February 2009

http://citizen-voices.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Sunday, February 1, 2009. How could this happen in Gaza? Demonize your enemy, Kansas City style. Demonizing your enemy is not a new concept. Israel and the US government have dehumanized Palestinians for decades with US media describing nearly every Israeli attack as simple retribution for Palestinian “terror.” Palestinian supporters demonize Israeli government officials, too, but what sticks in American minds is what the US media reports. The rabbi offered a defense of Israel military policy, typically ...

Citizen Voices: Palestine - Wednesday, September 14th

http://citizen-voices.blogspot.com/2011/09/palestine-wednesday-september-14th.html

Saturday, September 24, 2011. Palestine - Wednesday, September 14th. I can't believe I'm packing. It feels like I just got here and at the same time, it feels like I've been here for months. I'm exhausted. My plan for the rest of the evening is to edit photos and cry as much as possible. I figure the more tears I shed today, the easier tomorrow will be. It's going to be hard enough to say good-bye to Palestine. It's going to rip my heart in two to say good-bye to K again. About Citizen Voices Blog. Pales...

http://citizen-voices.blogspot.com/2011/09/palestine-thursday-september-8th.html

Saturday, September 24, 2011. Palestine - Thursday, September 8th. To this day, it's the saddest and most disheartening thing I've ever seen and it makes me ashamed to be human. I have so much more to say but I have to be up in 3 hours to catch a bus to Ramallah and then figure out how to get to Nabi Saleh from there. (insomnia knows no boundaries).
