The Valley concludes it's first-ever reunion, and Sarah thanks the good lord above (Andy Cohen) that it wasn't a 4-parter. After listening to Simon and Garfunkel for inspiration - the sound of silence, a dream - Sarah climbs to the top of her own Mount Everest, the final deep dive on this reunion cycle. While taking pics from the mountaintop, she leans into clear eyed takes (good and the opposite of that) on part 3: why holding multiple truths has proven complicated for the cast (but not the cloffice, lol), playing to a court of law vs. public opinion, the importance of clarifying language (including what is intentionally inflammatory, and/or full of intent), current views on Janet and Jason v. Nia and Danny, why Brittany's experience with Danny shouldn't have been so readily dismissed, Jesse's delightful talking-to about his girlfriend, Michelle, technically present for class, and more. Season 2 is finally over, but this convo is just getting started - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 699!

Highlighted Organizations Supporting Civilians in Israel and Gaza:

Women Wage Peace: Women Wage Peace is the largest grassroots peace movement in Israel whose purpose is to promote a political agreement, involving women in the process. Today the movement has more than 44,000 members. 

NewGround: a Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change: NewGround envisions an America where Muslims and Jews and others, both secular and religious, model lasting partnerships and engagement in authentic communication and mutual cooperation. The organization empowers Muslims, Jews and allies to bridge divisions and leverage shared values to strengthen our communities and our fragile democracy. 

Standing Together: Standing Together  is a progressive grassroots movement mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel against the occupation and for peace, equality, and social justice. We know that the majority have far more in common than that which sets us apart and only a tiny minority benefits from the status quo. The future that we want — peace and independence for Israelis and Palestinians, full equality for everyone in this land, and true social, economic, and environmental justice — is possible.

Solutions Not Sides: Solutions Not Sides has been teaching skills of empathy, active listening, communication, critical thinking and conflict resolution through exploration of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict since 2010. Our programme is based on three key values: non-violence, equality for all, and the rejection of hatred.

Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF): PCRF is the primary humanitarian organization in Palestine, delivering crucial and life-saving medical relief and humanitarian aid where it is needed most. Access to essential resources like food, clean water, and healthcare is severely limited. Urgent action is needed. With your support, we can continue this vital work, ensuring that the over one million children of Gaza receive the urgent care they need and deserve. https://www.pcrf.net/
