40 Years of Occupation: Tell Us Your Story

To mark the 40th anniversary of the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, AAI is calling on members across the country to submit their stories about how the 1967 war and the subsequent occupation has affected their lives.

We will feature your stories, poems, artwork, and photographs of Palestine on a commemorative page on our website to be displayed during the week of the anniversary.

To submit your story, click here and tell us your story.

To submit poems and electronic images, please email them to aaimedia@aaiusa.org and include your name, phone number, title of the piece (if relevant), and information about when/where they were taken or created.

If you have print photographs, you can mail them in and we will scan and send back to you. Please mail them to the Arab American Institute (ATTN: Anniversary); 1600 K St. NW, Suite 601; Washington, DC 20006.

Note: AAI reserves the right to alter the wording of your entries (with the exception of poems) for grammatical accuracy and consistency with the rest of its website, but will not change the context of your entry.
