 Mobilizing for Gaza Defining Our Role In The Revolution Promotional Image[
 /caption]\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nARLINGTON\, VIRGINIA \n\nThe horror of witnessing
  an ongoing genocide in Gaza has galvanized a global movement of solidarit
 y for Palestine. Now\, more than ever\, the goal of Palestinian liberation
  is shared among the masses and seen as the people’s struggle against im
 perialism.\n\nHowever\, achieving liberation requires more than our imagin
 ation. It requires our determination\, focus\, and creativity to meaningfu
 lly support Palestinians on the ground.\n\nThe road to liberation will be 
 long and sometimes grueling and lends itself to burn out. It’s natural t
 o feel lost at times\, and uncertain as to how best to direct our energy i
 n support of Palestine.\n\nTo 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 lan
 es in this revolution\, we can best equip ourselves to commit to the long-
 haul work of supporting Palestine.\n\nThrough 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-mind
 ed community to keep each other motivated.\n\nThis workshop echoes the spi
 rit 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!\n\nAbout BuildPalestine:\n\nBuildPales
 tine is a Ramallah-based organization that accelerates Palestinian-led soc
 ial enterprises dedicated to solving community challenges. We also curate 
 and mobilize a global community of Palestinians and allies dedicated to su
 pporting a free Palestine. Check out our interactive membership platform\,
  Under the Olive Tree\, and join our movement.\n\nAbout the Organizers:\n\

 nam Raheem\, Global Community Organizer\, BuildPalestine.\n
