The Campaign
Campaign Organizers
The Campaign is run by a volunteer Coordinating Committee (CC) composed of the Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committees (PARC), the Palestinian Hydrology Group (PHG), the Applied Research Institute—Jerusalem (ARIJ), LAW-The Palestinian Society for the Protection of Human Rights and the Environment, the Land Research Center (LRC), the Union of Palestinian Medical Relief Committees (UPMRC), and the Society for the Development and Protection of the Environment all of whom are PENGON members. The CC is headed by PENGON, which is the Campaign Coordinator and heads the Campaign Center.
Following the first two CC meetings, subcommittees for the Campaign have been formed. The three subcommittees are: International Advocacy and Media, Research and Information Collection, and Social Mobilization.
Several public meetings have also been held in areas in the northern areas affected by the Apartheid Wall, and consequently local councils, farmers unions, and other grassroots organizations have formally joined the Campaign. The first two Emergency Centers for the Campaign have been established in where information collection, meetings, and public and legal services can be provided to those affected by the Apartheid Wall.
The CC members have volunteered staff and other resources to the Campaign, including the funding of the Emergency Centers and providing field officers and researchers. The Campaign is overwhelmingly a volunteer effort.
The Campaign is open to any organizations or individuals who would like to join and supports the Campaign efforts.
