Season 5, Ep. 2: "We Must Act." Talking with Crystal Silva-McCormick, Christians for a Free Palestine
As Christians, we must say, "not in our name," as we continue witnessing the genocide of our Palestinian siblings. Mom and I sat down with Crystal Silva-McCormick, a member of Christians for a Free Palestine (CFFP), to discuss their mission, the urgency of unlearning Christian Zionism, and educating ourselves about apartheid in Palestine.
Crystal also uplifts CFFP's upcoming Interfaith Action for Palestine, in D.C. (July 28-30, 2024) with a diverse coalition of faith partners (Jewish Voice for Peace, Mennonite Action, Hindus for Human Rights, RabbisForCeasefire, etc.) to counter Christians United for Israel’s (CUFI) annual summit. "CUFI is the largest pro-Israel organization in the U.S." centering militarism, alongside white Christian supremacy and genocidal policies. This action focuses on "disrupting CUFI’s supremacist agenda, and calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza." Learn more about in-person public events such as the Interfaith Service (July 29) and Interfaith Rally (July 30) and participating online by visiting their website.
