[Org4j-announce] #Nakba Day - May 15 actions across Canada - Free Palestine!

[Organizing For Justice]

Nakba (Arabic for “catastrophe”) Day is observed in Palestine and around
the world to commemorate the displacement of hundreds of thousands of
Palestinians surrounding Israel’s declaration of independence in 1948.

Once again this year, Nakba Day takes place against the backdrop of a
tragic escalation of Israeli violence against Palestinians, notably in
Gaza, East Jerusalem and throughout several Palestinian cities and towns
inside Israel.

This workshop "raises the issue of how this scarf has been rid of its
political significance by the clothing industry and the Israeli government,
and facilitates education about the kuffiyah and its history as well as the
broader goal of reflecting on solidarity and elaborating strategies to be
better 'allies'."
