From Minneapolis to Palestine: Resistance to Apartheid, Occupation & Police Brutality
This event will be broadcast on Facebook Live on Thursday, July 23, 2020 at 7 PM – 8:30 PM Central Standard Time.
Across the world, repression is worsening but the movement is growing. In the West Bank, Israel prepares to declare its illegal settlements “annexed” and further diminish the sovereignty of the Palestinian nation. In Minneapolis, people are rising up against police murders and anti-Black racism.
Repression in Palestine and US cities like Minneapolis is connected by the tactics and technology Israel develops and exports to American law enforcement. But the resistance crosses borders too. Palestinians in the diaspora stand with Black victims of police violence. A global movement to free Palestine grows and gains legitimacy.
The Minnesota Anti-War Committee presents an online panel on the multinational resistance from Minneapolis to Palestine.
Panelists:
Danya Zituni is a member of US Palestinian Community Network (USPCN) and is currently based in Detroit. Previously she was a staff member in Chicago for the Arab American Action Network (AAAN) and active with USPCN in Chicago.
Tessneem Abdallah is a board member with American Muslims for Palestine MN.
Meredith Aby-Keirstead is a founding member of the Minnesota Anti-War Committee. She travelled to Palestine in 2002 and in 2009 was one of the Anti-War 23 who were raided by the FBI in part over alleged connections to blacklisted Palestinian organizations.
Angel Buchner is a member of TC Coalition Justice for Jamar which has been organizing as a part of the Black Lives Matter movement for 5 years. Before being in TCCJ4J Angel was an organizer with the MN Welfare Rights Committee and has been a long time supporter of the Anti-War Committee.
This event is organized by the Anti-War Committee with support from AMP MN, CAIR MN, TCCJ4J, Justice for Isak, USPCN, Veterans for Peace Chapter 27 and WAMM.
