Movie: Alam
2024-03-19 19:15 - 21:00 | Grand Illusion Theater, 1403 NE 50th St, Seattle, WA, 98105
The film, Alam, playing at the Grand Illusion Cinema

Despite being part of a young generation of Palestinian Arabs whose families chose to stay and challenge the Israeli state after Al-Nakba, 17-year-old Tamer and his friends are just like any other group of teenage boys. They clumsily search for drugs, flirt with girls, play video games, and slack off at school. However, when a beautiful new student named Maysaa’ joins their class, Tamer immediately falls for her and, by association, is drawn into her political activism. Together they join fellow classmate, Safwat, in an operation to covertly raise the Palestinian flag and peacefully disrupt the local celebrations planned for Israel’s Independence Day – otherwise known to Palestinians as a day of mourning and memorialization for their displacement 70 years prior. Unsure of his own political convictions, Tamer must quickly determine what matters to him and what price he is willing to pay for freedom.
In Arabic and Hebrew with English subtitles.

USCPR Action Phone Zap: DISRUPTING CAMPAIGN EVENTS
2024-03-20 11:00 - 13:00 | Virtual
Join USCPR Action on Wednesday, March 20 to mobilize our masses calling Congress and to learn how to disrupt campaign events. On the Zoom call, you’ll hear a case study on how to disrupt a politician’s event to force the demand to stop arming Israel onto their agenda. We’ll also be mobilizing to defend Rafah and to stop “THE DEADLY DEAL,” a $95 bilion spending package that just passed the Senate and now heads to the House. The Deadly Deal includes $14 billion in weapons to Israel for arming genocide, and the elimination of all humanitarian funding to the UNRWA aid agency for Palestinian refugees, permanently. At 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT, we’ll flood Congress’s phone lines together to let them know we’re watching as the U.S. government continues to back Israel’s horrific massacres and forced starvation of Palestinians in Gaza. Demand that your elected officials call for a PERMANENT CEASEFIRE NOW and stop arming Israel! Join us this Wednesday, March 20 at 2 PM ET.

Eyewitness Palestine: Live from Lyd Webinar
2024-03-27 09:00 - 11:00 | Virtual
Join Eyewitness Palestine on Wednesday, March 27th at 12PM ET for our Live from Lyd webinar, featuring a special virtual delegation led by Tamer Nafar, who will take us around Lyd on a custom tour of the city. Lyd, like many Palestinian cities, is an ancient city that’s been home to multiple civilizations over its 5,000-year history. It was the site of one of the most grueling massacres of the Nakba and remains haunted by the injustices brought on to it. Today, the community of Lyd–one of the few cities with an integrated Palestinian and Israeli Jewish population–is marred by addiction and gun violence. We’ll hear from Lyd residents about the resilience and struggles they face in the community.

Land Day: PNW Regional March
2024-03-30 14:00 - 16:00 | Lake Union Park, 860 Terry Ave N, Seattle, 98109, United States
Each March 30th, Palestinians mark Land Day, recalling how in 1976 Israel announced plans to confiscate thousands of dunams of Palestinian land in al-jalīl (the Galilee). This led to protests across Palestine, and on March 30, 1976, Israeli police killed six Palestinian citizens of Israel and injured and arrested many others. The occasion has come to exemplify the steadfastness of Palestinian resistance to colonization of their land.
On Saturday, March 30, at 2:00 p.m, a coalition in Seattle invites us to gather at Lake Union Park for a march and rally. Organizers are calling on all people of conscience, across Coast Salish lands, across the Pacific Northwest, and beyond, to march in honor of those who fought and continue to struggle for a free Palestine.
