Rebuilding Gaza

With the blockade and resulting crisis in Gaza continuing with no end in sight, the American Friends Service Committee together with the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee and Architecture for Humanity recently released a report urging a major home-repair initiative that will enable Palestinians in Gaza to reclaim their right to live in dignity.

After defeat of the DREAM Act

The American Friends Service Committee is disappointed that the United States Senate did not improve and pass the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM Act). But AFSC is committed to advocating for overhaul of the existing immigration system to guarantee dignity and respect for all immigrant families.
