All people are equal and should be treated with dignity and respect.
For decades, Palestinians have faced Israeli settler colonialism and occupation enforced through racist and discriminatory legal regimes, forced displacement, blockade and movement restrictions, and systematic human rights abuses. According to legal scholars and the international human rights community, this situation constitutes the crime of apartheid.
If we wish to achieve an Apartheid-Free world, we have to start by first freeing ourselves from participating in apartheid, and then by freeing our own communities from participating in it: our faith congregations, cities, campuses, and workplaces.
Together, let’s work to create an Apartheid-Free Wenatchee Valley! Help us fill up this map!

The First United Methodist Church (941 Washington St) voted to take the Apartheid-Free Pledge on October 12, 2025, becoming the first Apartheid-Free Community in Wenatchee, and the first in Central Washington as a whole.
Do you want to see your faith congregation, organization, or workplace on this map? Work within your organization and convince them to take the Apartheid-Free Pledge! The pledge is a commitment to educate ourselves and others about racist laws and state systems at home and abroad, and to ensure that our communities do not contribute to the maintenance of apartheid regimes.
An organization, union, or local business can also declare itself an Apartheid Free Zone, which is a commitment to refrain from providing any kind of support to Israel’s regime of oppression.
We would love to add any local organization that has made any sort of Apartheid Free commitment to the map above! Please email us if your organization qualifies!
