- Karima Al-Absy who was raised in Omaha and graduated from Creighton University in 2011. In 2015, she received a master’s degree in Near Eastern Studies from New York University. Karima has been a member of the Nebraskans for Peace: Palestinian Rights Task Force for nearly 15 years. Her father is Palestinian, and her extended family still live in a village near Ramallah in the West Bank.
- Daniel Soloveitchik is a Jewish organizer and an unapologetic socialist and anti-imperialist. He has been politically active since 2009, and all his organizing efforts are centered on promoting the dignity and power of working-class folks from Omaha to Gaza and beyond. Daniel believes that he and fellow Jews have a special responsibility to speak out against the genocide in Palestine, so he recently helped launch the Jewish Voice for Peace Eastern Nebraska pod, or JVPEN. JVPEN is building an anti-Zionist Jewish community which celebrates Jews in the diaspora while affirming the interconnected struggle for Palestinian liberation.
- Hatim Hassan is a college student in Omaha with a strong passion for raising awareness about issues in Sudan and across Africa. Dedicated to spotlighting the ongoing conflict in Sudan, Hatim aims to inform and engage others about the challenges faced by those affected by the war. His commitment to advocacy and social justice drives his efforts to spread knowledge and promote understanding of critical African issues.
