Dear David,

The world will be watching carefully as Pope Francis begins his historic 
visit to Jordan, Palestine, and Israel this weekend.

While he likely won’t have to go through checkpoints himself, the Pope 
/will/ witness firsthand the suffering and unjust imprisonment of the 
Palestinian people. People of conscience like you and me will be asking, 
“What can we do to end the injustice?”

And there is something you can do, right now. In a matter of weeks, the 
Presbyterian Church (USA) will be voting to divest from 3 companies that 
profit from creating misery for Palestinians.

*Please join me and sign our multi-faith letter of support for 
Presbyterian divestment.*

Unfortunately, some Jewish groups and their Christian supporters insist 
that a vote for divestment would damage interfaith relations between the 
two communities.

Your signature of support is critical because it sends the message to 
church leaders that solid relations between Christians, Jews, Muslims, 
and people of other faiths must be based on respect for the dignity and 
well-being of all fellow human beings.

The Pope is doing his part. In an unprecedented move, he has chosen a 
rabbi and an imam to accompany him on his trip. He will also be meeting 
with Christian leaders of other churches. We are all one family.

*Your message of support to the Presbyterian Church will carry the same 
message: We are all one. We stand together. The time to divest from 
injustice has come.*

When he visits Bethlehem, perhaps Pope Francis will see the holes left 
in the ground where, just this week, the Israeli army uprooted over 
1,500 fruit trees just a few miles south west of Bethlehem. Or he’ll 
touch the wall, built illegally on Palestinian land, that separates 
families and friends from each other, and farmers from their land. Or 
he’ll feel the sting of segregation when he is allowed to travel on 
Israeli roads, across Palestinian land, that Palestinians are actually 
banned from using.

No matter what, we will continue to support divestment. We will continue 
to call for justice.

In hope,

Sydney Levy
