About the Annual Meeting
Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.
Proverbs 31:8-9, NIV
The PJN annual meeting planning committee is excited to share that our 2025 annual meeting theme will be: SPEAK UP for Palestine!
During this annual meeting, we hope to offer programming that will inspire us to continue to Speak Up for Palestine. We will feature talks and workshops led by local Palestinian student activists, world-renowned Palestinian artists, and writers and thought-leaders who have put everything on the line to Speak Up for Palestine. We will also spend our time together reflecting on ways in which we have failed to speak up and moments in which we have been complicit through silence. We pray that our time together will rejuvenate and reinvigorate us to keep on Speaking Up for Palestine until Palestine is truly free.
The annual meeting programming will be offered on November 14 and 15. PJN will also host a welcome reception on the evening of Thursday, November 13, for folks who arrive early.
Confirmed speakers include:
Hannah Moushabeck, author, editor, and book marketer from Interlink Publishing, the only Palestinian-owned publisher in the United States
Sim Kern, New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author of Genocide Bad and The Free People’s Village.
Tanya Habjouqa, award-winning visual journalist, artist, and educator.

Traveling to Madison
There are 2 ways you can fly to Madison.
You can fly into the local airport - Dane County Regional Airport (MSN) - and then take an uber to your hotel.
Or, you can fly into Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) and take a bus ($68.60 USD round trip) directly to downtown Madison and then take walk or uber to your hotel.
While it tends to be cheaper to fly into ORD and take a bus to Madison, it is worth checking both options because sometimes the cost to fly into Madison can be comparable.
Where to stay in Madison
The PJN has reserved 3 room blocks at hotels near Christ Presbyterian Church. You are not required to stay at one of these three hotels. We are just offering them to help you plan your trip to Madison.
