About Us:
SacramentoBethlehem Sister City was founded in friendship and solidarity with our sisters and brothers in Bethlehem, Palestine. We are an all volunteer organization of Sacramento area residents. Our interest is developing connections and friendships w
ith the people of Bethlehem.
Renowned throughout the world for its religious and historical significance, Bethlehem today is under foreign military occupation. Its people are increasingly isolated, suffering land confiscation, obstruction of their economy, and a diminishing future.
Bethlehem is reaching out to the international community to end this isolation and injustice. In the spirit and mission of Sister Cities around the world, SacramentoBethlehem is responding, asserting that we, Sacramento and Bethlehem are members of one global community.
SacramentoBethlehem welcomes opportunities to share with others in the Sacramento area our experiences and friendships with the people of Bethlehem. Contact us.
