Record-breaking attendance shows up for Gaza! Dear Email, The 16th Annual Convention for Palestine in the US: Gaza's Resilience, The Ongoing Nakba, began with record first-day attendance numbers. Despite the attempts to silence us, leading to the cancellation of our initial venue, our convention has grown to over 3,500 attendees on the first day. Supporters of the Palestinian cause have resoundingly proven that they will remain steadfast and will not hesitate to join with one another to learn, to grieve, and to grow.   Speakers such as Nihad Awad and Dr. Osama Abuirshaid emphasized the centrality of political advocacy for Palestine in America, highlighting the groundbreaking work of AMP in this area. Palestinian American from Gaza, Huda Shubair, joined our inauguration, sharing her harrowing story of loss, as she mourns the murder of her parents, and numerous other family members, by Israeli occupation forces. Her strength in narrating a crushing personal story motivated attendees to turn their sorrow into action.     
Join us tomorrow, Saturday, Nov 25th, for another day full of learning, sharing, and coping as a community tomorrow. We value your attendance during such a difficult time and are honored to provide an engaging platform for our supporters. Sincerely, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) |
