We Need Your Help

If we are to continue organizing such effective programming, as well as developing our organization in order to increase our impact, we need help from our fellow concerned citizens. Right now our tax dollars fund foreign policy towards Israel/Palestine that results in humanitarian disasters, forcing groups like MECA and PCRF to step in. If you would rather your dollars go towards raising awareness of the unheard sides of this conflict, please consider donating.

To donate: please write "AJP" on the memo line and write your check out to the "Southwest Youth Collaborative" ("SWYC" is fine).
Please send your checks to:

Mission Statement


The Arab Jewish Partnership for Peace and Justice in the Middle East (AJP) brings together Arab Americans and Jewish Americans who advocate for an end to US unconditional economic and military support for Israel in its occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people. This occupation is a source of great instability and violence that threatens to engulf the region of the Middle East. The AJP supports a peaceful resolution of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict that ensures peace, justice and security for both peoples.
