Women on the Frontlines of Change - 5 August 2026

Von American Combatants for Peace:

Dear Friend,

 

Next week, our Summer Solidarity campaign, “Emergency Assistance, Shared Resistance,” turns to one of the movement's greatest strengths: the women helping sustain, protect, and strengthen Combatants for Peace.

 

Throughout history, women have often stood at the intersection of violence and hope — among the first to bear the costs of conflict, and among the first to organize communities, protect one another, and build the foundations for lasting change. 

 

Across Palestine and Israel, the women of Combatants for Peace are advancing that collective legacy—protecting vulnerable communities, mentoring the next generation, strengthening nonviolent resistance, and creating spaces where shared humanity can grow.

 

As part of our campaign's third initiative, STRENGTHEN WOMEN LEADERS, we invite you to join us Wednesday for a special CollectiveED conversation.

 

Women on the Frontlines of Change:

🗓 Wednesday, August 5

You'll hear directly from three extraordinary women whose leadership spans grassroots organizing, protective presence, community resilience, and global movement building. 

 

🌳Hanadi Hussin Sayed, Palestinian activist, researcher, author, and gender specialist whose work focuses on women’s empowerment, displacement, and the experiences of women living through and beyond conflict. 

⛰️Tova Kahan, Israeli activist and Protective Presence Consortium project manager working alongside Palestinian villages under threat while helping strengthen community resilience and joint action.
🌏Dr. Gail Bradbrook, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion and internationally recognized organizer who has inspired movements for climate justice, systems change, and grassroots action across the globe.
🪷Moderated by Tiffany Goodwin-Van Camp, Executive Director of American Friends of Combatants for Peace.

 

Though their work spans different countries and movements, they share a common conviction: that courageous, community-rooted leadership is essential to building a more just future. Join us as they reflect on what they've learned, what sustains them, and why investing in women leaders matters now more than ever. 

 

Whether you've followed our movement for years or are joining us for the first time, we hope you'll be part of this conversation.
