Planting the Seeds of Liberation

This year, the Palestinian Nakba enters its 76th year and comes at the heels of a violent onslaught against our people in Gaza who have been facing a US-backed Israeli genocide for over 6 months. What we have witnessed these past months in Gaza is part of an ongoing colonial project to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from their land since the Nakba, which began in 1948. For more than 76 years, Israel and its imperialist allies have conspired to destroy the will for Palestinian liberation, and for more than 76 years Palestinians have resisted their oppressors.

In commemoration of Nakba, join us on May 19 to sow seeds of resistance. For this community event, we will learn about the role of Palestinian agriculture and farming in resistance, along with the significance of plants, such as the poppy. This practice of cultivating and caring for our roots is a one of defiance against Zionist aggression, land theft, and ethnic cleansing. We must carry on this struggle of resistance until all Palestinians return home!
