Three years ago this week, a massive explosion in the Port of Beirut killed hundreds, wounded thousands, and forced hundreds of thousands to flee their destroyed homes and devastated neighborhoods.

How and why did this blast occur? Despite calls for an investigation and accountability, three years later nothing has been done.

Join us this Thursday, August 3rd at 4:30 pm (Eastern Time) for another in our series Lebanon Conversation, to remember the three year anniversary of the Beirut blast and its victims. We will be joined from Beirut by survivors of the blast, member of parliament Paula Yacoubian, director of Human Rights Watch's MENA office Lama Fakih, and filmmaker Daizy Gedeon.

Please register here to receive the dial-in information for the Zoom call happening this Thursday August 3rd, 2023 from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm ET. After you register, you will automatically get the dial-in information for the meeting.

I hope you can join us then.

Regards,
