Project South presents USPCN with movement award

Project South honored USPCN with an award during its recent celebration of its 25th anniversary. The US Palestinian Community Network is deeply grateful to Project South for the honor, and salutes Project South on the occasion of 25 years of struggle, resistance and endurance against racism, poverty and genocide.

Project South awarded USPCN with the U.S. South to Global South Award as part of the event on Saturday, December 3. Vanessa Faraj and Kathryn Hamoudah accepted the award on behalf of USPCN as local representatives of the Movement to End Israeli Apartheid.

Project South was founded in Epps, Alabama in 1986, when leading Civil Rights workers were federally charged with vote fraud for registering Black absentee voters in West Alabama. Several organizations came together to launch a national campaign called “I’ll Vote On” to fight the charges and ensure voting rights for Black Communities. Project South emerged from these struggles. 25 years later, Project South is a local, regional, national and sometimes international organization based in Atlanta.

The US Palestinian Community Network is committed to struggling hand in hand with oppressed communities and communities of color inside the U.S. against racism and oppression, as part and parcel of the Palestinian struggle.

Thank you to Project South and congratulations on 25 years of struggle – looking forward to struggling together until victory!
