    Your name will be listed on the project website as a supporter (categorized by level of giving), so that the entire community of Palestinians will see that you want their voice to be heard. [Note: You may also remain anonymous if you prefer. We will ask you in advance.]

  • Pledge $25 or more

    You will be credited on the website and receive a free copy of the launch DVD, containing the video vignettes, before they are posted on the website. You are free to use the DVD for home and community showings.

    The rewards above will be supplemented by a personally autographed copy of the 2011 release of "Popular Resistance in Palestine: A History of Hope and Empowerment" -- written by one of our Palestinian Gandhis, Mazin Qumsiyeh of Bethlehem.

    In addition to the other rewards above, you will receive a glossy, one-of-a-kind poster (designed just for this project) featuring the graffiti of Gaza -- the wall art through which many artists express their hopes and fears.

    In addition to the rewards above, we will plant an olive tree in your name in a West Bank village where settlers have destroyed the orchards, and send a picture back to you of the new tree, signed (with a message) by its owners. If you desire, the new owners of the young olive tree can become your penpal -- and your host on your own trip to Palestine!
