Mobilizing for Gaza Defining Our Role In The Revolution Promotional Image

 

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA 

The horror of witnessing an ongoing genocide in Gaza has galvanized a global movement of solidarity for Palestine. Now, more than ever, the goal of Palestinian liberation is shared among the masses and seen as the people’s struggle against imperialism.

However, achieving liberation requires more than our imagination. It requires our determination, focus, and creativity to meaningfully support Palestinians on the ground.

The road to liberation will be long and sometimes grueling and lends itself to burn out. It’s natural to feel lost at times, and uncertain as to how best to direct our energy in support of Palestine.

To combat burnout and feelings of powerlessness, we are organizing an in-person workshop designed to guide supporters of Palestine to reflect on and define their personal mission statements and commitments towards a free Palestine. By taking the time to define our lanes in this revolution, we can best equip ourselves to commit to the long-haul work of supporting Palestine.

Through guided exercises, community discussion, and networking, participants will leave this workshop with a clear sense of their personal role at this time, along with a like-minded community to keep each other motivated.

This workshop echoes the spirit of Mariame Kaba’s words: hope is a discipline. Join us on May 5th to nourish our collective hope for a free Palestine and strengthen our sense of community. Yalla, we need you!
