In 2022, we piloted bringing a group of activists to join the olive harvest and support Palestinian families and farmers as they harvested their land. Settlers and army often prevent and harass families from reaching their lands and gathering their olives. The harvest is a crucial time in Palestinian society economically, culturally and socially, and it was an honor and privilege to join in this meaningful effort.
