The Pittsburgh Coalition to End the Deadly Exchange
We are a coalition of local organizations committed to justice, uniting in opposition to training exchange programs between the United States and Israel. These programs, organized and financed by non-governmental entities including businesses and pro-occupation organizations, contribute to the militarization of police in the United States and the mistreatment of vulnerable populations and communities throughout the United States and Israel-Palestine. Through solidarity, community-building and public outreach, we seek to raise awareness as well as to prevent local civic and community leaders from participating in these programs.
