Planting the Seeds of Liberation
2024-05-19 14:00 - 16:00 | Gas Works Park, 2101 N Northlake Way, Seattle, WA, 98103
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!

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!

A 25-Mile March for Palestinian Liberation
2024-05-26 | WA
Join us on a 25-mile march for Palestinian liberation this Memorial Day weekend, May 26th 🍉
👇Our vision statement:
As we grieve more than seventy-five years of unbearable loss of life and freedom in occupied Palestine, we are coming together to walk 25 miles—the length of Gaza—for justice.
We are a group of Palestinians and non-Palestinians; Indigenous and non-Indigenous; Black, POC, and white; Jews and non-Jews; Christians, Buddhists, and people of many faiths; settlers and immigrants, living on Duwamish and other Coast Salish land and united in our longing for the liberation of Palestine. We are disabled and abled, elders and young. We know ableism is at the heart of every genocide, and we welcome all bodies into this movement.
When we say “freedom from the River to the Sea,” we call for universal freedom and safety for everyone from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River. We call for universal access to food, water, shelter, education and medical care. We call for freedom of movement and freedom of expression regardless of religion or ethnicity.
When we say “freedom from the River to the Sea,” we long for true liberation for all peoples beyond false borders. Our conscience calls us to forcefully and unceasingly demand an end to the continuing Israeli expulsion of Palestinians. We know that there is no military solution. True safety and freedom must be collective. We are unequivocal in our vision: one state, called Palestine, with equal rights for all.
We are walking toward the world we yearn for: Indigenous sovereignty restored, land held as sacred, not as property, and an end to all systems that exploit, extract, and kill. We are walking for peace, life, and liberation, from every river to every sea.
Will you walk with us?
