Organizing for Palestinian Rights & Building Cross-Movement Connections
Starts: Saturday, Aug. 4 10:00 AM (Eastern)
From local to state to national politics, the grassroots movement for Palestinian rights is taking on and transforming power. We are joining together organizers who are interested in Palestine solidarity within a progressive foreign policy, with an emphasis on joint struggle and the power of forging genuine cross-movement connections. This caucus is welcome to people in all parts of the social justice ecosystem with an interest in learning from or joining with the Palestinian rights movement in the US. The first 20 attendees with receive our limited edition “From Palestine to Mexico, All the Walls Have Got To Go” tote bags! Join us!
