This week in Washington, I have worked with leading Palestinian-American entrepreneurs and political activists Hani Masri, Samia Farouki and Huda Farouki in raising awareness of the work in Nablus, Palestine of a women’s and children services center, Tomorrow’s Youth Organization. We have had a couple of policy discussions, a large party for young people, and a gala benefit last night featuring Quincy Jones, British barrister and former first lady and human rights activist Cherie Blair, former US President Bill Clinton, and former DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe.
One of the events was a large party at Georgetown’s Cafe Milano Tuesday night — and my friend and NBC Washington Nightside correspondent Janet Donovan put together a nice clip about women’s issues, the economy, health care in the US, the state of Democratic Party politics in the country, and Middle East questions with TYO Chairman and Palestine Note publisher Hani Masri, former Democratic National Committee Chair and Virginia governor candidate Terry McAuliffe, and US House of Representatives Congressman Jim Moran (D-VA).
