There are a number of different ongoing campaigns nationwide that supporters of human rights for Palestinians can become involved in. Locally, the Rachel Corrie Foundation is working to defend the gains of our Olympia Coop, the first food institution to implement a full boycott, to push for a boycott of Caterpillar, and to support efforts by members of the United Methodist Church and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to divest from companies profiting from the occupation. For information on volunteering with RCF, contact austin@rachelcorriefoundation.org to receive a volunteer form.
