Shoes for Sidra with Families for Ceasefire
2024-10-05 10:30 - 11:30 | Maritime Heritage Park, 500 W Holly St, Bellingham, WA, 98225
**Updated Post!! ** Join us on October 5th for a solidarity event to mourn the brutal loss of Palestinian children at the hands of the US-funded Israeli military.

📆📍Shoes for Sidra – Saturday, October 5 at 10:30 am, Maritime Heritage Park
Shoe donation drop site: Downtown @thirdplanetboutique and Fairhaven @cafebluefairhaven
Shoes For Sidra is a community art installation dedicated to Sidra Hassouna, a 7-year-old Palestinian girl, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike that tore off both her legs and left her body hanging from a destroyed house. Sidra is but one of the countless children who have been killed by the U.S.-funded Israeli genocide.
We signify our grief and solidarity with a simple act of laying out shoes—as many as we can gather—to try to convey the loss and unimaginable scale of the injustice. We invite passersby to contribute a pair of shoes, and write the name of a person that has been stolen from us. We invite you to walk the labyrinth and connect with any feelings that arise.
Sidra left this earth without legs and feet. She and many children like her no longer need shoes. We as a global community have failed to protect them, and it is our responsibility to share their stories and honor their lives.
Shoes for Sidra is an all-ages event with speakers and kid-appropriate programming. This event is inspired and supported by @families4ceasefiresea – we are humbled by the regional network of grassroots pro-Palestinian organizations that continues to strengthen.

We will be joined directly by a few speakers live from Gaza via Zoom, alongside Husam Zomlot the Palestinian Ambassador to the United Kingdom, who was born and raised in Gaza.

Visit Al Am'ari Refugee Camp virtually with Eyewitness Palestine
2024-11-27 09:00 - 17:00 | Virtual
Located east of Ramallah, Al Am’ari Camp is one of the smallest refugee camps in the West Bank, with a registered population of 15,315, including 5,048 children. Despite its small size, the camp encapsulates the severe challenges faced by Palestinian refugees living under Israeli military occupation.
The residents of Al Am’ari frequently endure invasions by the Israeli Occupation Forces, further exacerbating their already precarious living conditions. These incursions disrupt daily life and instill fear and uncertainty, particularly among children, who bear the brunt of the trauma.

Marketing the Occupation: Part Three - The Social Media Battleground in a Time of War
2025-01-19 12:00 - 15:00 | Virtual
Israel and pro-Israel advocacy groups have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on social media messaging to build “Brand Israel” and sway U.S. public opinion. Such campaigns have influenced elections, inserted falsehoods into news cycles, and intimated decision-makers into funding weapons for Israel. But there is resistance. For example, Wikipedia has deemed the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) “a generally unreliable source” on the war in Gaza. Students assert their First Amendment rights, protesting on campuses, advocating for boycotts, and sharing news directly from Gaza. What are the dimensions of this social media battle for the “hearts and minds” of the American public?
