AMP Herzallah Hosts Virtual Palestine Advocacy Day
Historically, this has been an in-person event. Additionally, there was a record-breaking registration of attendees for this year’s planned event. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, original plans were cancelled. However, AMP has announced that they will be holding a Virtual Palestine Advocacy Day this year – which could reach even more people nationwide.
This year’s Virtual Palestine Advocacy Day is on, and will be held September 14-18, 2020. This event is open to all advocates for Palestine, and will be one of its kind. Taher says that it could break the record for attendees. This is because anyone can attend from the comfort of their homes, and there is only a small $10 registration fee. Taher Herzallah is a renowned activist in the Muslim American community. He has been featured on Al-Jazeera, Electronic Intifada, Islamicity, and the FOSNA Palestine speaker list for his work.
