Dalit Baum, PhD, is an anti-occupation activist and educator from Israel. She is a co-founder of Black Laundry, (a pun in Hebrew on "black sheep"), a feminist direct action group of lesbians, gay men and transgenders against the occupation of Palestine. The group uses humor, sex, and chutzpah to make visible the connections between different oppressions in Israel and the occupation of Palestine.

Claudia Bernardi is an artist, human rights activist, art professor and artist in residence at Intersection for the Arts. She has worked with the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team at the sites of political massacres for many years. Her work deals with memory, recollection and the passage of time.

She is a member of Jews for a Free Palestine and is a founding member of Break the Silence Mural Project, a group of Jewish American Women artists who, through community art projects in Occupied Palestine, work to raise awareness and critical thinking in the U.S. regarding Palestine and Israel.
