Colorado Palestine Solidarity Campaign

About

">Originally formed in March 2003, the Colorado Palestine Solidarity Campaign (CPSC) has worked steadily to advance the cause of justice for the Palestinian people by helping to coordinate various independent initiatives, providing educational material, and generally trying to help encourage pro-Palestine activism throughout Colorado. As always, the CPSC is an ad hoc coalition without any formal membership, anyone interested in participating is more than welcome assuming they are not racists (including anti-Semitism) or religious bigots, for whom we have zero tolerance. Visit this website for new developments and projects around Colorado promoting justice for Palestine.
