Very interesting event being put on by a great org If Not Now, with a focus
on a very important cause-Palestinian rights and the ongoing devastation of
the Palestinian people by the Israeli settler colonial state.

Here’s how it will work:

*More about **Naila and the Uprising: *When a nation-wide uprising breaks
out in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, a young woman in Gaza must
make a choice between love, family, and freedom. Undaunted, she embraces
all three, joining a clandestine network of women in a movement that forces
the world to recognize the Palestinian right to self-determination for the
first time. Naila and the Uprising
<[link removed]>
chronicles the remarkable journey of Naila Ayesh and a fierce community of
women at the frontlines, whose stories weave through the most vibrant,
nonviolent mobilization in Palestinian history – the First Intifada in the
late 1980s. Using evocative animation, intimate interviews, and exclusive
archival footage, this film brings out of anonymity the courageous women
activists who have remained on the margins of history -- until now.

*More about Just Vision: *Just Vision
<[link removed]>
increases the power and reach of Palestinians and Israelis working to end
the occupation and build a future of freedom, dignity and equality for all.
We drive attention to compelling local role models in unarmed
movement-building and demonstrate to journalists, community leaders, public
intellectuals and students – in the US, Israel, Palestine and beyond – what
is possible when leaders at the grassroots choose to act. We tell their
under-documented stories through award-winning films, digital media and
targeted public education campaigns that undermine stereotypes, inspire
commitment and galvanize action.

*More about IfNotNow: *IfNotNow is a movement to end the Jewish American
support for the occupation in Israel/Palestine, knowing that the occupation
is a daily nightmare for those who live under it and a moral disaster for
those who support and administer it.

Hope you can join us!
