Twyla Meyer
Twyla Meyer first experienced the effects of the Israeli Occupation of Palestine in the summer of 1989, when she and her husband volunteered for the Nazareth Work Camp during the first Intifada.
In 2003, 2004 and 2005, she traveled to the West Bank and worked with ISM. The work took her to Nablus, Tulkarem, Bilin’, Hebron, and other villages and cities to participate in checkpoint watches and nonviolent vigils and rallies.
She is actively involved in antiwar activities, and a member of the planners for the Detroit Women In Black.
Twyla, age 60, uses her poetry to reinforce her antiwar and human rights message.
