In this pivotal moment, Combatants for Peace activists are coming to the U.S. in November 2025 to share what it means to resist despair and separation, and to choose repair and solidarity.
They are Nimala Karoufeh, a Palestinian healer and educator from Beit Jala, and Noa Harell, a former Israeli soldier turned peace activist. Both have lived through war and rising violence, and both now stand at the forefront of our joint movement for nonviolent co-resistance and co-creation.
This November, they will speak in-person across the East Coast: sharing stories, tools, and wisdom for anyone asking: What can we do? Where do we find hope?
