Films: The Beirut Trilogy
2026-04-30 16:30 - 18:00 | The Beacon, 4405 Rainier Ave S, Seattle, WA, 98118, United States
Photo-journalist and documentarian Jocelyne Saab grew up in Beirut and spent fifteen years covering the Lebanese war. The three films that would become known as THE BEIRUT TRILOGY are among the nearly 30 films she made during that time; they weave together documentary images and poetic essay to process how the war has changed the city she knew and her connections to it. Heartbreaking and quietly hopeful, Saab trains her camera on the people of Beirut as they persist with daily life amid the rubble.
BEIRUT, NEVER AGAIN (1976, 35 mins)
Lebanese writer and painter Etel Adnan provides poetic voiceover as the filmmaker follows the daily destruction of the city. Every morning between 6 and 10am, she roams around Beirut while the militias from both sides rest from their night of fighting.
LETTER FROM BEIRUT (1978, 48 mins)
Three years after the beginning of the Civil War the filmmaker returns to her city which has irrevocably changed. An epistolary film in which Saab wanders the streets, rides the bus, chats with refugees and reflects on the war’s toll.
BEIRUT MY CITY (1982, 35 mins)
In July 1982 the Israeli army laid siege to Beirut. Four years earlier Jocelyne Saab saw her 150-year-old childhood home go up in flames. She asked herself: when did all this begin? Every place becomes a historical site and every name a memory. Considered by Saab herself to be her most important film.

The State of State Divestment
2026-05-02 12:00 - 13:30 | Virtual
Join us on Saturday, May 2 for a discussion on state-level divestment campaigns in the United States. Activists from the state of Washington will share insights from their recent successful effort to push the state Treasurer to divest from Caterpillar, due to the company’s longstanding involvement in Israel’s grave human rights violations against Palestinians.
We will also hear from organizers in California who are building a broad, union-centered coalition to target the state’s pension funds and advance divestment efforts. They are motivated by the understanding that ending complicity is a legal and moral obligation.
And we’ll hear from activists in Minnesota, who successfully pressured the state to sell off most of its Israel Bonds.
This session will be valuable for activists who are already engaged in BDS campaigns, as well as for those just getting started. While the focus will be on campaigns in the US, the lessons and strategies discussed will be relevant to divestment efforts globally.

Event Cosponsors include the BDS Movement, American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), Jewish Voice for Peace, CalSTRS Divest, and Minnesota Anti War Action Network.

When: Saturday, May 2 – 12 PM PT/3 PM ET/9 PM CET
RSVP for Zoom link.

Land Stewardship Practice: Mapes Creek with Tareq from Trillium
2026-05-03 12:00 - 16:00 | Register for Location
WELCOME TO MAPES CREEK
A land and culture tending practice. An ongoing series to learn the process and be in relationship. Guided by indigenous and Social Forestry principals. In collaboration with Green Seattle Partnership 💚🌲

Trillium offers this justice-oriented container as an opportunity to build connections, learn, practice, heal, create, and weave resilient communities anchored in land and water.

THIS PROJECT IS FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN:

Learning the skills of forest and watershed stewardship and restoration.

Learning how to nurture a reciprocal relationship with land.

Weaving a resilient community.

Cultivating a sense of place.

Learning about the ecology of this region and how to connect with and identify flora and fauna.

Taking meaningful action towards climate, land, and social justice.

Exploring a career in the field of land stewardship.

THE CREEK
These waters run through unceded Duwamish Territory and have been tended by Coast Salish peoples for millennia. We advocate for their justice, honor their stewardship, and walk in their footsteps.
Today, the creek is tended by many communities of caregivers.
We collaborate with them in shared care for the land and in a spirit of respect and humility.
The first water drops of Mapes Creek percolate through a remnant second-growth forest in South Seattle, where we will be visiting and tending.
It meanders in the recovering forest and through Kubota Garden, where it fills a necklace of ponds.
It then plunges into a dark pipe as it runs through the Rainier Beach neighborhood.
It sees daylight again through Be’er Sheva park as a recovering salmon habitat, and pours into x̌ačuʔ (Hatchu – Lake Washington).

PREPARE YOURSELF!

We will be moving through some brush, uneven surfaces, and slopes. Dress for the occasion!

We will have access to a restroom and drinking water, but please bring your own water to start.

We invite you to bring any offerings to the land for ceremony time 🪶💌🌿🖼️✨
