It is aimed towards meeting basic needs of our community through providing free supplies such as shoes, sleeping bags, boots, coats, tents, tarps, food, COVID safety PPE, etc. Speaking to international solidarity, this event is meant to fundraise in support of the humanitarian crisis and ongoing genocide of Palestinians, waged by the settler-colonial and Western-backed power, Israel.
Masks are required! We will be distributinf a variety of masks for people to use too. In acknowledgement of the weaponization of COVID and other illnesses against Palestinians as a tool of genocide, it is important to us that we make this event as COVID safe as we can through universal masking and air purifiers supplied by @seattlecleanair and other community organizers.

Mercer Island Art Walk: SZ Gallery
2024-05-03 17:00 - 20:00 | SZ Art Gallery, 2441 76th Avenue SE, Suite 160, Mercer Island, WA
During this (Frist) Friday MI Art Walk, stop by the SZ Gallery with a spirit of empathy & sense of curiosity, as you explore and learn from Palestinian and Arab Artists.
“Posters for Gaza” sheds light on the humanitarian crisis taking place in Gaza and demands recognition for Palestinian rights. This exhibit follows two previous shows, “We Are Palestine,” which touched on universal themes of the Holy Land and focused on humanizing the Palestinian people. “PALESTINE: Tracing Boundaries” focused more on architecture and featured Jerusalem (Al-Quds) through architectural interpretations, in addition to the impacts of imposed walls and boundary edges on the lives of the indigenous people.
Suzanne Zahr, Art & Architecture | SZ Gallery
2441 76th Ave SE, Suite 160 Mercer Island, WA
(First) Friday, May 3, 5-8PM
**FREE** ALL are welcome!
In this unique exhibition, twenty-six artists come together to raise their voices, through a series of posters produced specifically for this exhibition. The posters shed light on the ethnic cleansing and horrific massacres taking place in the Gaza Strip – possibly the worst in modern history – demanding the recognition of Palestinian rights to live freely on their land with dignity.
Representing a long tradition in Palestinian history, political posters were produced extensively in the seventies and the eighties by the Palestinian Liberation Organization with the contribution of Palestinian, Arab, and international artists. Posters played a crucial role in supporting the justice of the Palestinian cause and promoting it globally guided by the freedom, dignity, resilience, and the ongoing aspiration for independence, sought by Palestinians.
Uniformly sized and designed in a simplified manner, the posters of each artist reflect their uniqueness in terms of style, materials, and the underlying narratives. Steering away from the digital norm, participating artists poured their effort into producing those posters utilizing a variety of materials including acrylics, inks, charcoal, collage, and mixed media on paper, while some artists employed various digital design techniques.

Nakba 76
2024-05-19 14:00 - 16:00 | Gas Works Park, 2101 N Northlake Way, Seattle, WA, 98103
🇵🇸 SEATTLE 🇵🇸: 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.
We must carry on this struggle of resistance until all Palestinians return home! We invite all Palestinian, Arab, and progressive organizations and people of conscience to join us on May 18 to honor the martyrs and demand:
1️⃣ An end to the genocide in Gaza
2️⃣ An immediate two-way arms embargo
3️⃣ The release of all Palestinian political prisoners
4️⃣ Immediate humanitarian aid and investment in relief efforts to help rebuild Gaza
5️⃣ An end to the Zionist occupation of Palestine!

After losing his home and studio in Gaza City in October, Maisara Baroud began drawing his diaries under the devastating Israeli genocidal war. He hasn’t ceased drawing since losing his “personal little world” to destruction, along with all his paintings, tools, books, and precious memories. Through his paintings, he documents displacement, brutal bombardment, the fear of loss, and the anxiety of protecting loved ones. Baroud says, “I draw to tell my friends that I am still alive.” – Excerpt by Rana Anani
