<p>Hi. My name is Lauren Donoghue, sophomore at the University of North Carolina and co-chair of J Street U South/South-East region.</p>
<p>This year, I will be voting in my first Presidential election. As I consider the choice that I will be asked to make in November, I am thinking about what kind of country I want America to be in the world. Will we be a country that harnesses its power and influence to bring about a more peaceful and just world? Or will we be a country that reacts to the great challenges of our time with a collective shrug?</p>
<p>When it comes to Israel, will we choose imagination and possibility, or resign ourselves to despair? Will we lead, or will we be led?</p>
<p>After traveling to Israel for the first time last summer on J Street U's student delegation, I know the choice that I will make and why it is so important to take action. On that trip, I had the great honor to engage with people on all sides of the conflict advancing a solution that would allow both peoples to live in security, freedom, and dignity. Throughout Israel I met politicians, security personnel, and activists working for a better, stronger Israel. In the West Bank I met Palestinian families and lawyers working to build civil society and a future state for their people.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=zbSnvc8upiSBz3ulfS3L4CuKGVkG9uaW" target="_blank">I encourage you to experience it for yourself with Engage With Israel: Peace, Democracy and Social Justice.</a></strong></p>
<p>My time in Israel left me inspired and hopeful and with a clear sense of the choices we have to make here at home to move our leaders to action.</p>
<p>The J Street U student leadership made me more hopeful and dedicated. It is my great privilege to invite you to experience this transformative change as well.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=upinUbSPm8wioysOAqi%2BKSuKGVkG9uaW" target="_blank">Apply here for the second annual J Street U student leadership trip to Israel and the West Bank-- Sunday, June 3rd to Thursday, June 14th.</a></strong></p>
<p>And thanks to our amazing supporters, the entire experience will be <strong>free of charge</strong>.</p>
<p>Even if you're not a student, you can encourage others to apply! Make sure to pass this along to any current undergraduate you know who might be interested.</p>
<p>To learn more about the trip, <a href="http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=SoeU2Ceit9mU0t7g5XulWyuKGVkG9uaW" target="_blank">watch this short 8 minute film</a> documenting our time last year. Applications are open to all undergrads enrolled in 2012-2013.</p>
<p>I could write so much more about my experience on the trip. But it cannot do justice to the power of my time with J Street U in Israel. <strong><a href="http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=vATKhPYsBO2KweFQqqTBmCuKGVkG9uaW" target="_blank">I invite you to experience this amazing trip for yourself by applying for J Street U's second annual trip to Israel -- Engage with Israel: Peace Democracy, and Social Justice</a></strong>. I know that you'll return inspired to work, alongside me and so many others, to transform our politics and bring about the chaneg we need on this crucial issue.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
Lauren Donoghue<br>
