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:Virtual Event – Laila Lalami with Roxane Gay

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:Club Book Author Series:  Laila Lalami
DESCRIPTION:Moroccan American novelist Laila Lalami uses fiction as a vehicle to showcase “overlooked” North African stories and experiences. Notable examples include her 2014 breakout The Moor’s Account\, which reconstructs the journeys of the New World’s first explorer of color. It won the American Book Award and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Lalami’s follow-up\, The Other Americans\, centers around the mysterious death of a Moroccan immigrant in California. Equal parts family drama\, murder mystery\, and love story\, The Other Americans was singled out by media as varied as the BBC and BuzzFeed as one of the most anticipated releases of 2019. Lalami’s new release\, Conditional Citizens\, is something of a departure. In this deeply personal exposé\, the author uses her own unlikely immigration story as an entrée for explore the hot-button question: What does it mean to be American? One reviewer noted: “Probing\, unflinching and fiercely intelligent\, Conditional Citizens is a must-read for all of those who have stared\, stunned\, at the shifting terrain of our political landscape and wondered how we got here.” \n**Not clear which time zone this is taking place\, I believe it’s 7pm Central Time.**

SUMMARY:Free Film Screening “My Neighborhood”
DESCRIPTION:Free Online Virtual Event \nClick Here to Register for Event. Free Event but Registration is Required. \nClick here to view the film trailer. \nSYNOPSIS \nMohammed El Kurd is a Palestinian boy growing up in the neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah in the heart of East Jerusalem. When Mohammed turns 11\, his family is forced to give up part of their home to Israeli settlers\, who are leading a campaign of court-sanctioned evictions to guarantee Jewish control of the area. \nShortly after their displacement\, Mohammed’s family and other residents begin peacefully protesting against the evictions\, determined not to lose their homes for good. In a surprising turn\, they are quickly joined by scores of Israeli supporters who are horrified to see what is being done in their name. Among them is Jewish West Jerusalem resident Zvi Benninga and his sister Sara\, who develop a strong relationship with Mohammed and his family as they take on a leading role in organizing the protests. \nThrough their personal stories\, My Neighbourhood goes beyond the sensational headlines that normally dominate discussions of Jerusalem and captures voices rarely heard\, of those striving for a shared future in the city. \nMy Neighbourhood follows Mohammed as he comes of age in the midst of unrelenting tension and remarkable cooperation in his backyard. Highlighting Mohammed’s own reactions to the highly volatile situation\, reflections from family members and other evicted residents\, accounts of Israeli protesters and interviews with Israeli settlers\, the film chronicles the resolve of a neighbourhood and the support it receives from the most unexpected of places. \nMy Neighbourhood is directed and produced by Rebekah Wingert-Jabi\, who documented Mohammed’s story over two years\, and acclaimed filmmaker Julia Bacha. It is the latest production by Just Vision\, an award-winning team of Palestinian\, Israeli\, North and South American filmmakers\, journalists and human rights advocates dedicated to telling the stories of Israelis and Palestinians working nonviolently to achieve security\, freedom and peace.

Drawing from her book Conditional Citizen\, she recounts her unlikely journey from Moroccan immigrant to US citizen\, using it as a starting point for her exploration of the rights\, liberties\, and protections that are traditionally associated with American citizenship.

She is the author of four award-winning novels: Secret Son\, Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits\, The Other Americans\, and The Moor’s Account. Her essays have appeared in the Los Angeles Times\, The Washington Post\, The Nation\, Harper’s\, The Guardian\, and The New York Times. Lalami is a professor of creative writing at the University of California at Riverside.
