In light of the new realities following the US and Israel elections, Mossawa will be undertaking an advocacy tour to the United States. The tour aims to raise awareness about Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel, its status, and its role in promoting human rights and peace in the region. Mossawa's delegation will include Jafar Farah, Mossawa's director, and board members, Dr. Mary Totry, Political Scientist, and Dr. Khaled Furani, Anthropologist. The delegation intends to meet with members of  the new administration and Congress, as well as civic organizations, think tanks, university faculty and students, and foundations. The delegation will be in Washington, D.C. from the 20th-26th and in New York City from the 27th-28th. Public events will be posted on the web site coming soon.
