Abbie Coburn - tour manager/Palestine speaker
Abbie Coburn, 24, has spent her short life traveling and studying throughout dozens of countries. She has been witness to the various extremes and injustices in this world since living in Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwe as a 4 year-old all the way through her undergraduate years at the international school Friends World Program.
Abbie only recently became involved in Palestinian justice after a recent trip to the West Bank in January 2007 with Birthright Unplugged. Now she finds herself working constantly to get the word out among the public in the U.S. through groups such as Sabeel, Break the Seige, and Episcopalians for Global Reconciliation.
When not abroad, Abbie tries to sustain herself in San Francisco as a leader at a small Episcopal church and as a caretaker to a handful of children in the Bay Area. Teaching the next generation about global justice and preparing them for the resistance.
