Internship at Al-Haq Organization
During my time in Palestine, I interned at a remarkable organization called Al-Haq. They are doing some of the most important work exposing atrocities committed by the Israeli settler colonial project and working for the human rights of all. My work there primarily consisted of two things: assisting in researching American nonprofit organizations donating to illegal Israeli settlements, and preparing highly personal writing for American legislators and social media. I also had the honor of going on field visits to select locations in Palestine, meeting with Al-Haq’s incredible field researchers who showed us behind the scenes at significant cultural and political locations. Overall, interning at Al-Haq has proven to be a profound and irreplaceable part of my time in Palestine, and one that I believe will prove to be invaluable.
