These groups liaise with many others to raise awareness of the Palestinians' plight. "For instance, they recently participated in the Tikkun conference held in Berkeley, CA. to help form a new American movement of "progressive people of faith".

These agencies are sponsoring a major conference called "Celebrate Nonviolence" to be held in Bethlehem this coming December 26-30, 2005. Many other agencies have been invited to participate and 500 or more participants are expected from around the world. To learn more, see the website: www.celebratingnv.org
