A benefit for the children of Palestine commemorating 75 years since the Nakba – the ‘catastrophe’ that lead to the expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland.
RASHIDA TLAIB
“a mother working for justice for all.”
Rashida Tlaib is a well-known progressive warrior, proud daughter of Palestinian immigrant parents, and mother of two children. The name Rashida means “righteous” in Arabic. Rashida made history by becoming the first woman of Palestinian descent to become a Congressperson and the first Muslim woman to ever serve in the Michigan Legislature.
