THE PALESTINE SOLIDARITY MOVEMENT

The PSM is made up of activist groups across the country working on Palestine who agree to five points of unity (decided at the D.C. organizing session - recorded in minutes posted by Charlotte L. Kates 1/6/03):

1. End the Israeli occupation
2. Right of return for Palestinian refugees
3. Equality under law
4. Divestment is our strategy of solidarity with the Palestinian people
5. Oppose racism and all forms of oppression

The first conference was in February of 2002 at University of California at Berkeley, the second was held in October at the University of Michigan, and the third will be at Ohio State University.
