July 23, 2009 - Participants on Interfaith Peace-Builders' 30th delegation in May-June, 2009 have wasted little time in spreading voices of peace and justice in their communities.
Some of these voices were captured on video and posted on IFPB's website. Watch the clip at left and click here for more video from the delegation.
Below is a list of delegates' appearances in the media and speaking events. As delegates continue their efforts, Interfaith Peace-Builders will work to support their activism and provide further resources for civic engagement and advocacy.

Presentations have taken place in New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Washington DC, Kansas, Texas, South Carolina, Massachusetts, and Utah. Additional presentations are scheduled for the coming weeks and months.
DELEGATES ORGANIZE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES:
Several recent delegates have taken leading roles in organizing local initiatives in their communities. Others have already begun the process of engaging their congressional representatives and educating local policymakers on the effects of the conflict.
As delegates continue their efforts, Interfaith Peace-Builders will work to support their activism and provide further resources for civic engagement and advocacy.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
In addition to these media appearances, IFPB staff are working with delegates to support speaking events in their home communities, adding to thousands of education and advocacy events since 2001.
All of this work is an extension of the transformative experience of an IFPB delegation. We need your help to support these grassroots efforts to educate and advocate for peace with justice. We need your support to keep delegations going to Israel/Palestine and continue the crucial follow-up work here in North America.
