FOSNA presents: Rev. Munther Isaac
FOSNA is excited to announce that we will be hosting Rev. Munther Isaac across the United States this summer!
Empty calls for peace without a ceasefire and end to occupation, and the shallow words of empathy without direct action, are all under the banner of complicity.
Join us in Atlanta, Chicago, Minneapolis, New Jersey, New York, Northern California, Pittsburgh, and Southern California to hear from one of the most profound and important Christian Palestinian voices of the moment.
Event details from each region are quickly rolling in! Check them out below and stay tuned for more updates.
