In our AGM of December, 2022, CJPME had the honour of welcoming six brilliant new individuals to our Board.  This dynamic group will join our existing Board to begin a new era for the organization, expanding our impact and reach.  As a first step in revitalizing our work, the Board will work with CJPME staff and volunteers in the months ahead to develop a new strategic plan for the organization. Read the bios of our Board leaders below, and please join us in giving a hearty welcome to the newcomers, and in thanking our long-serving veterans.   2023 will be an important year for CJPME, as we respond to Israel's dangerous right-wing government, and its brutal oppression of Palestinians. We'll need all the support we can get as we push our politicians and media to recognize the terrible abuses suffered by the Palestinian people.  If you support our critical work, please consider making a donation to CJPME. Monthly donations are especially helpful, as they sustain our ongoing work. If you don't like to give by credit card, you can give via email transfer, over the phone (438-380-5410), or by completing and mailing in this form.  Continue reading

Last week, we highlighted our impressive accomplishments (below), with new breakthroughs with students, the media and politicians! But huge new challenges loom for 2023. Can you help reach our new goals below? #1: Expand our Lobbying with Members of Parliament 2022 was our best year yet in terms of strengthening relationships with members of Parliament (MPs)! Our analysis and input were more solicted by politicians and policymakers than ever before. Our report on Canadian arms sales to Israel and our UN Dashboard were just two initiatives that garnered wide attention on Parliament Hill. But we need to hire a Parliamentary Policy Analyst to do even more: more one-on-one meetings with MPs; more incisive analysis; more lobbying! Can you donate to strengthen our lobbying?

World opinion on Israel is clearly starting to change!: public opinion polls show increasing disapproval; the media are far more skeptical of the Israeli line; and human rights organizations accuse Israel of apartheid. And CJPME is part of this change, with another amazing year of accomplishments. In 2022, CJPME was quoted more than ever by the media, and contacted more than ever to provide our expertise to politicians and policymakers. 2022 saw us expand our work with students in a major way, send our VP to Palestine to network with Palestinian NGOs and activists, and carry out dozens of other impactful campaigns and activities. Check out our 2022 highlights below to see the full breadth of our impact! And if you’re not already doing so, get the day-to-day updates by following us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn.

Montreal, July 14, 2022 — These past few months, CJPME representatives met with dozens of members of Parliament (MPs) to discuss Canada’s position on Palestine and related topics.
