SUMMARY:A Friend's Call to a Farm Bill for All
DESCRIPTION:Our food system is failing to address hunger in the U.S. Our food system is vulnerable to climate change and a leading contributor to the climate crisis. Join AFSC staff and partners as we host roundtable discussions on the U.S. Farm Bill and how we can collectively call for policies that build a more just\, equitable\, and sustainable food system. \nIn this Farm Bill learning series\, all are welcome to join. We will deepen our understanding of how the Farm Bill functions\, its crucial role in responding to the climate crisis\, and how we can advocate for legislation that prioritizes the growing needs of our communities and environment. \nAug 1\, 2023 04:00 PM

SUMMARY:No Way To Treat A Child: American Friends Service Committee
DESCRIPTION:Please join the #nowaytotreatachild campaign co-leaders from Defense for Children International – Palestine and American Friends Service Committee for a webinar on July 25 at 12 p.m. Eastern / 9 a.m. Pacific / 5 p.m. BST.  \nPalestinian rights organizers\, activists\, and advocates across the United States have been busy working to advance the Palestinian Children and Families Act\, H.R. 3103\, which aims to prohibit Israel from using U.S. taxpayer funds to detain and torture Palestinian children\, demolish or seize Palestinian homes and property\, and further annex the occupied West Bank. During this webinar\, several special guests will share their experiences advocating for Palestinian rights in the U.S. and share tips for how you can make progress with your elected officials. \nBackground \nApproximately 2.9 million Palestinians live in the occupied West Bank\, of which around 45 percent are children under the age of 18. \nPalestinian children in the West Bank\, like adults\, face arrest\, prosecution\, and imprisonment under an Israeli military detention system that denies them basic rights. \nSince 1967\, Israel has operated two separate legal systems in the same territory. In the occupied West Bank\, Israeli settlers are subject to the civilian and criminal legal system whereas Palestinians live under military law. \nIsrael applies civilian criminal law to Palestinian children in East Jerusalem. No Israeli child comes into contact with the military courts. \nIsrael has the dubious distinction of being the only country in the world that automatically and systematically prosecutes children in military courts that lack fundamental fair trial rights and protections. Israel prosecutes between 500 and 700 Palestinian children in military courts each year. \nIll-treatment in the Israeli military detention system remains “widespread\, systematic\, and institutionalized throughout the process\,” according to the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) report Children in Israeli Military Detention Observations and Recommendations. \nChildren typically arrive to interrogation bound\, blindfolded\, frightened\, and sleep deprived. \nChildren often give confessions after verbal abuse\, threats\, physical and psychological violence that in some cases amounts to torture. \nIsraeli military law provides no right to legal counsel during interrogation\, and Israeli military court judges seldom exclude confessions obtained by coercion or torture. \nABOUT #NOWAYTOTREATACHILD’S WEBINARS AND ZOOM:\nFor this webinar\, we will be using the Zoom platform. Additional instructions and details for joining the webinar will be shared by email with individuals that have registered. \nWHEN \nJuly 25\, 2023 at 12:00pm – 1pm \nWHERE \nOnline via Zoom \nCONTACT \nBrad Parker · info@nowaytotreatachild.org
