Having learned of the experiences of the BWI and Education International delegations that were denied access to Palestine (by the Israeli authorities), we reached out to the general secretaries, David Edwards and Ambet Yuson, who both agreed to be interviewed.\u00a0 We interviewed them together and shared the recording widely — this became one our most popular podcasts, with more listeners even than our recent Minneapolis podcast.\u00a0 Meanwhile, the Histadrut shared with us their statement on what happened, which we posted to our news page.<\/p>\n
We continue our efforts to get more translators and correspondents, reviving our campaigns and mailing lists in languages which have gone dormant.\u00a0 In the last two weeks, we reached out to our Polish and Romanian supporters, and managed to get a Polish mailing translated for the first time in a long time.\u00a0 (Our Polish list is quite large – nearly 1,000 subscribers.)<\/p>\n
Our mailing lists continue to grow, as we picked up 112 new subscribers during this period, despite not having launched a new campaign.<\/p>\n
Coming soon: we will try to reinvigorate our Dutch language campaigns and mailing list this coming week — and probably Arabic the following week..\u00a0 In another ten days or so, we’ll launch our May Day 2026 t-shirt fundraiser.<\/p>\n
