Words from the Achvat Amim Tzevet During COVID-19

Dear Beloved Achvat Community and Friends of Achvat Amim,

We write you as we continue to build the movement for self determination from our homes. It has been an intense few weeks of transition and refocusing as we bravely continue forward. What does remain clear, is the strength of our community and the bonds we have built as Solidarity of Nations - Achvat Amim. We are taking it one day at a time here at Achvat Amim, with our cohort learning and working remotely from Jerusalem and London. In a time of continued occupation, economic insecurity, global pandemic, and political coups, we must hold to each other tightly and continue working towards the world we want to live in. The great Sufi poet Hafiz once wrote exactly this,
​
Out
Of a great need
We are all holding hands
And climbing.
Not loving is letting go.
Listen,
The terrain around here
Is
Far too
Dangerous
For
That.

Solidarity of Nations - Achvat Amim is centered on building relationships, trust, and care across borders, boundaries, and divisions. We are excited for the ways our community will expand and embody these values in this time. We are here with you as friends, as comrades, as movement partners.

Holding Hands with You,
Julie, Dana, and Erez
