SUMMARY:Yogis for Palestine: Int'l Day of Yoga action for Palestinian Liber
 ation
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you purchase a ticket for $25+ (per person)\, yo
 u will receive a t-shirt (See here for t-shirt samples). Please register t
 o receive the order form so you can select the style/size for your shirt! 
 Please look at FAQs to know how to buy multiple tickets.\n\nOn this Intern
 ational Day of Yoga (IDY) (June 21st\, 2024)\, Yogis for Palestine\, La La
  Lil Jidar\, &amp\; Philly Families for Ceasefire invite you to embody yog
 a in the service of Palestinian liberation -- by calling for an end to Isr
 ael’s genocide in Gaza and its 76-year occupation of Palestine.\n\nWe un
 derstand IDY to be a holiday that the global far-right weaponizes to advan
 ce ethnonationalist and colonial policies. On IDY in 2021\, Yogis for Pale
 stine invited yogis to “repurpose International Day of Yoga in solidarit
 y with Palestinian\, Kashmiri and all oppressed people’s self-determinat
 ion\;” and to apply the principles of "Decolonizing Yoga" to the context
  of Israeli apartheid and settler colonial occupation.\n\nRather than cele
 brate International Day of Yoga\, we invite yogis to:\n\n 	Hold space for 
 collective grieving and healing for our Palestinian martyrs and kin\;\n 	D
 emand an end to Israel’s genocide &amp\; ethnic cleansing of Palestine\;
  and\n 	Use the power of yoga to call for the dismantling of the Zionist e
 ntity &amp\; a free Palestine.\n\nThis will be a family-friendly event: we
  will offer meditation &amp\; yoga classes for adults &amp\; children as w
 ell as other activities. We hope you join us.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT NOTES
 :\n\n1) Our hope is to also get media attention at our event\, and we plan
  on filming the event and sharing the video out. If you have the capacity 
 to do so\, we would love for you to purchase a t-shirt for a powerful\, co
 ordinated visual effect!\n\n2) As mentioned above\, we are selling t-shirt
 s for this event. We are asking that people who wish to buy a shirt donate
  a minimum of $25 per person attending and wanting a shirt. Please registe
 r here to receive the order form to select your t-shirt. We have 3 variati
 ons: youth tees\, adult all-inclusive tanks\, and racerback crop top tanks
 !\n\n3) Bartram's Garden has generously agreed to waive the fees of hiring
  a parking attendant that would be needed if over 75 people attend this ev
 ent. Because we still want over 75 people to attend\, we offered to help c
 urb the number of cars in the parking lot by agreeing to carpool and use u
 ber/lyft if possible. We will also have volunteer parking attendants from 
 our team helping to coordinate parking in the lot.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYogis4Pale
 stine\n\nWe are Yogis for Palestine (Y4P)\, a collective of yoga teachers 
 and students\, who strive to embody our practice by politicizing yoga towa
 rd action for Palestinian freedom and liberation. We understand that yoga\
 , like any cultural practice\, is not inherently liberatory and peaceful\;
  however\, we believe yoga can be used toward liberatory politics and coll
 ective healing. While the organizers of our collective reside in Philadelp
 hia\, PA (occupied Lenni-Lenape territories)\, we are open to yogis from a
 round the globe who share our commitment of using yoga toward decolonizati
 on\, anti-oppression\, and social justice liberation to join us in our mis
 sion. Follow us here at www.yogis4palestine.com\n\nOur Vision:\nOur vision
  is to witness a free and self-determined Palestine in our lifetime\; and 
 to support the collective healing and care of a Palestinian future.\n\n\n\
