SUMMARY:Conversation: JUSTICE IS POLITICAL (NOT HUMANITARIAN): WHAT PALESTINIANS DEMAND FOR GAZA 
DESCRIPTION:JUSTICE IS POLITICAL (NOT HUMANITARIAN): WHAT PALESTINIANS DEMAND FOR GAZA\nThursday\, October 15 1 pm ET/10 am PT \nJustice cannot wait. Ahead of the second presidential debate\, Palestinians in the US plan to reiterate this and other critical demands for justice: to end military funding to Israel and allow Palestinians their internationally-recognized right to return to their occupied homes. Congress’ responsibility to Gaza is political\, not humanitarian. A humanitarian approach seeks to apply a bandage to a gaping wound that should instead be healed through justice in policy: ending US complicity in Israel’s siege of Gaza. Only when Palestinian voices are centered in determining their futures can their hopes for freedom and justice can be realized. Join expert Palestinians and progressive allies to discuss policy demands that aim to stop the roots of the violence on Gaza by removing US support for Israel’s ongoing violations of Palestinian rights. \nRegister to join this critical conversation. \nThis event can be viewed here: https://m.facebook.com/MPowerChange/videos/justice-is-political-not-humanitarian-what-palestinians-demand-for-gaza/2442304769409778/

SUMMARY:Conditional Citizens: Laila Lalami in conversation with Alexander Key
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be American? In this starkly illuminating and impassioned book\, Pulitzer Prize Finalist Laila Lalami recounts her unlikely journey from Moroccan immigrant to U.S. citizen\, using it as a starting point for her exploration of the rights\, liberties\, and protections that are traditionally associated with American citizenship. Tapping into history\, politics\, and literature\, she elucidates how accidents of birth–such as national origin\, race\, or gender–that once determined the boundaries of Americanness still cast their shadows today. Throughout the book\, she poignantly illustrates how white supremacy survives through adaptation and legislation\, with the result that a caste system is maintained\, keeping the modern equivalent of white male landowners at the top of the social hierarchy. Conditional citizens\, she argues\, are all the people whom America embraces with one arm\, and pushes away with the other. Brilliantly argued and deeply personal\, Conditional Citizens weaves together the author’s own experiences with explorations of the place of nonwhites in the broader American culture.

SUMMARY:Movie screening and discussion of Naila and the Uprising
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening and discussion of Naila and the Uprising\, a Just Vision documentary\, with the Deputy Director and a Producer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nJoin Museum of the Palestinian People for a special film screening and discussion of Naila and the Uprising with Just Vision’s Deputy Director\, Emma Alpert and one of the film’s producers\, Rula Salameh. \nNaila and the Uprising is a documentary film about a nation-wide uprising that breaks out in the Occupied Palestinian Territories\, and the story of a young woman in Gaza who must make a choice between love\, family\, and freedom. Undaunted\, she embraces all three\, joining a clandestine network of women in a movement that forces the world to recognize the Palestinian right to self-determination for the first time. Naila and the Uprising chronicles the remarkable journey of Naila Ayesh and a fierce community of women at the frontlines\, whose stories weave through the most vibrant\, nonviolent mobilization in Palestinian history – the First Intifada in the late 1980s. You can watch the trailer\, here. \nThe film will be available for registrants to view at their own convenience prior to our discussion with Emma and Rula on Zoom on Friday\, August 28 at 12pm EDT. All registrants will receive info to watch the film and join the Zoom conversation via email after they register. \nSuggested donation: $10. Free for Resilience Monthly Club Members. \nThanks to our Resilience Club supporters\, we are able to host weekly events on Palestinian culture\, history and heritage. To become a member\, please visit here. \nWe are very grateful for your partnership and support. The Museum of the Palestinian People is based in Washington DC and here to tell our stories\, which encompass the rich history\, vibrant arts\, culture and spirit of a people who thrive even in the face of adversity. \nVisit our website to learn more: mpp-dc.org
