Dear Friends & Fam,
Please welcome back WendyPalestine Google Group after a 10 year hiatus!
As those of you who were on this list back then know, (and to update you all who have come into my life in the last 10 years,) I used this Google Group to send reports from the ground in Occupied Palestine. (I also used a blog.) I stopped posting in 2012 when Israel deported me and banned me from returning.
For the last 10 years I have been in the struggle to save City College of San Francisco. Although there were many victories along the way, (and you can read about them in the book Free City,) sadly I must report that we lost the war. The City College provided education to all who could benefit is gone. Someday, I hope it will rise again.
Now my focus is with an Unarmed Civilian Protection project in Western Sahara. Not much news is reported on what is going on there so don’t feel bad if you are unaware that it suffers under a brutal occupation by Morocco, similar to (and different from) Israel’s occupation of Palestine.
So the name of this Google Group might more appropriately be called WyndWesternSahara. But really, I am fighting for the exact same things as before: Demanding respect for human rights and international law.
I leave today for Casablanca. I hope the next time you hear from me I’ll be in the Khaya family home in Boujdour, Western Sahara.
Love,
Wynd
