Join Immigration Justice for Eyewitness Palestine: Learning from Lived Experiences with Nancy Mansour, activist of Eyewitness Palestine.
Eyewitness Palestine (EP) is a transformational education program that inspires participants to be lifelong social justice advocates in the Palestine solidarity movement and within their own communities.
Nancy Mansour, Palestinian American and executive director of EP, will share tales from her vast experience in organizing delegations to learning from life-on-the-ground in Palestine. Nancy herself co-led a medical delegation of 10 doctors to Gaza in March 2024.
The program will include contributions from two past delegates, an EP Board member who traveled in 2008 and a staff member who traveled in 2024.
Come at 6:30 to sample Middle Eastern food and to mingle with other attendees. The formal presentation will be from 7:00 – 8:30.
This eye-opening experience is not to be missed!

Born in the UK to Palestinian parents, Nancy was raised and educated in South London, where she studied Business, Finance, and Management. After moving to New York in her early 20s, she pursued a career in entertainment as a radio and event host for over 13 years and managed various artists in the music industry. During this time, she worked in the Hospitality and Healthcare industries, most recently at the Center for Innovation in Mental Health at the School of Public Health at CUNY. In 2009, Nancy co-founded Existence Is Resistance— a grassroots, not-for-profit, voluntary organization that took numerous delegations to Palestine/48, conducting workshops with children in refugee camps as well as organizing hundreds of events and conferences in the US and Europe. She has worked with and built strong ties with various movements across the board and on the ground in Palestine.
