‘I Found a System of Segregated Roads’ — Anna Baltzer’s Path to Activism

Mondoweiss reviews The Danger of Neutrality, a TEDx Ocala talk by USCPR Director of Organizing and Advocacy Anna Baltzer.

Anna Baltzer of the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights is one of the most effective communicators on our side of the issue (she was on the Daily Show with Mustafa Barghouti, a highlight in mainstream exposure for the Palestinian cause); and a couple months back, she gave a talk at TEDx in Ocala, Florida, about how she became an activist. She described abandoning the ideal she had grown up with, that she should be neutral in a conflict, when she went to Palestine and saw Palestinian conditions first hand.
