Water, Health and Human Rights: Marking World Water Day, from the U.S. to Palestine
2021-03-22 16:00 - 17:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
World Water Day March 22, 2021
The UN designated March 22 as World Water Day in 1993.
In the years since, various UN agencies have declared water to be a human right that “should be treated as a social & cultural good, and not primarily as an economic good.” The UN General Assembly formally recognized water as a human right in 2010.
These declarations have not stopped large corporations from turning water into a commodity to be bought and sold for a profit. In Indigenous lands in the U.S. and around the globe water resources have been plundered and polluted, with devastating consequences for traditional ways of living and the environment. The ongoing seizure and diversion of water to drive Indigenous peoples from their land have been tools of colonial domination from the Americas to Palestine and beyond.
In the U.S. communities of color have disproportionately faced the poisoning of their water and environment. In some American cities water shutoffs for nonpayment of bills have forced people to leave their homes, paving the way for gentrification.
Wars are already being fought over water and this is only going to continue as we confront the devastating effects of climate change. Texas recently experienced a ‘Gaza Strip’ moment, when the impact of a freezing storm and deregulated grid left people without power and drinkable water.
The era of the Covid-19 pandemic has brought many problems into urgent focus, and access to clean water is one of them.
Find out how you can get involved in campaigns for water justice at our March 22nd webinar, Water, Health and Human Rights: Marking World Water Day, from the U.S. to Palestine. It will focus on water struggles in Detroit, Flint, Indigenous lands, prisons and Palestine and help build public support for legislation to stop water shut-offs in the U.S. during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Palestinian Fatayer with Nadia Tommalieh
2021-03-22 17:00 - 19:30
The universal practicality of packing deliciousness into a portable dough package ranges from Cornish pasties to empanadas to fatayer, a type of savory pie eaten throughout the Middle East. In this class, NADIA TOMMALIEH will guide you through the Palestinian take on this most perfect of mezze. You’ll layer a citrusy spinach filling into dough triangles to make fatayer sabanekh, fold cheese and herbs into boat-shaped fatayer jebneh, and make open-faced spiced beef sfeeha.
This is a live, hands-on cooking class held in your kitchen via Zoom. Class is meant to be as interactive as it would be at our table, with the instructor teaching you how to prepare each recipe. Each class ticket is for one kitchen, and we welcome group cooking on the same screen. To learn more about how class will go visit our FAQ PAGE.

There are two options for gathering ingredients for this class! You can shop for your own ingredients or we are happy to pre-measure ingredients and assemble them into a 4-serving kit. And if you like to sip wine while you cook, consider adding a lovingly paired bottle with your kit!
You can preview the ingredients and equipment needed by FOLLOWING THIS LINK. One week before class we will send out a detailed shopping list, and a few days before class we will email you a detailed recipe packet and Zoom link. All classes are listed in Pacific Time.
