Conference Program

Doors Open: 12:00 PM 

Estee Chandler, Dr. Loubna Qutami, Dr. Hatem Bazian, Dr. Ahmad Soboh

This session will address what California means to Palestine work in America and what it means to diasporic organizing and cultural preservation. From political advocacy to cultural awareness, California remains at the forefront of confronting Zionism and creating visions for liberation.

PYM members and SJP student organizers

Speakers will discuss their transition from student organizing into youth & community organizing with the PYM. They will also discuss their experiences challenging Zionism on campus, how they’ve developed campaigns to organize against Zionism on campus and on a local level, and how to debunk common zionist talking points throughout our campaigns.

SJP student organizers and PYM members

Speakers will discuss the UC Divest campaign and their efforts to build a powerful coalition across campuses, and student and community organizations to challenge Zionism and the war industry at the UC level. Participants will learn about strategies to develop their own campaigns. 

Dr. Osama Abuirshaid, Hussam Ayloush, Zahra Billoo, Dr. Ahlam Muhtaseb, Shaikh Taha Hassane

From local initiatives to national campaigns, the work for Palestine in America runs deep on multiple fronts including political advocacy, electoral campaigning, media and film, social and cultural campaigns, grassroots mobilizations, and Muslim-community-specific initiatives.
