We warmly invite you to a special evening Sunday, March 1 at 7 p.m. Palestinian Christian activist and author Sami Awad will speak on “A Sacred Path to Liberation: From Bethlehem to Santa Cruz.” Co-sponsored by the Palestine Justice Coalition, the Tzimtzum Collective, and Santa Cruz Jews for a Free Palestine, this event offers a rare chance to hear from someone who has spent his life at the intersection of spirituality, justice, and nonviolent resistance.
Sami Awad is Co-Director of Nonviolence International and author of The Sacred Awakening, which invites us to embody a radical path to liberation and peace. Raised in and currently living in Bethlehem, West Bank, Palestine, Sami has lived his life at the intersection of spirituality, justice, and nonviolent resistance. He brings lived experience with occupation and spiritual reflection to invite us to resist injustice, embody courageous love, and embrace a deeper way of living in the face of colonialism.
