Hi—I’m a Certified Christian Educator in the Presbyterian Church USA who
has had the pleasure of teaching and learning in the Middle East. I ask that
you please prayerfully consider voting for selective divestment from
companies that benefit from the occupation. I have stood at the site of demolished
houses in Hebron and talked to the families who lived there. Your votes is
the most powerful, nonviolent way we have as Americans to pressure the Israeli
government to end its occupation. Only through ending the occupation will
there be a chance for a lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians. I ask
this on behalf of my grandchildren and all the children in the world who
deserve to live in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you
deliberate….Beverly Bailey, Bethany Beach, DE
