Dear Email, We've almost reached our finish line. Palestine Convention will wrap up its 3-day program today with yet another full day of activities featuring our legendary entertainment night. Yesterday, our convention successfully executed its second day packed with events for families, students, and all! Just to name a few subjects of discussion, we had lectures and presentations on Palestinian prisoners, the battle for Jerusalem, lobbying for Palestine in the US, Zionist tools of repression, and last but not least - Gaza. One of yesterday's many highlights was our personal Zoom call-in from Jerusalemite activist Muna El-Kurd herself, LIVE from Sheikh Jarrah. The diverse program featured thrilling talks by Imam Omar Suleiman and Linda Sarsour. We ended the main program with a powerful screening of the film "Angel of Gaza" followed by a panel with filmmaker Ahmad Mansour and AMP's very own Zarefah Baroud and Taher Herzallah. Alongside this program, the Campus Activism Track was on fire. From brainstorming activities like imagining a free Palestine to the education of students on resources to counter the racist, blacklist website Canary Mission, students were active, engaged, and leading conversation. We hope to see you again today, for our third and last day of the Palestine convention. The highly anticipated main event will feature "Arab Idol" finalist Haitham Khalaily, Kefah Zreeqy, Samer ft. Waheeb Nasan, spoken word artist Ayah Chehade, poet Miriam Alammuri, and our emcee for the evening comedian Mohammad El-Attar. So be sure to join for great educational and entertainment content throughout the day! |
